Switch from Windows Server 2016 to unraid?

[AT0MAC]

I currently have a Windows Server Essentials 2016 machine working as a NAS here at home, but its way over complicated and not really necessary with a lot of the things that OS can do.

It came with the decommissioned server I bought so had to try it out.

 

I used to run a very simple unraid solution and im thinking maybe that is the way forward again.

 

I have some few needs though and I know a proper Linux OS would be maybe the right call, I just feel unraid would be the simplest to setup and use for day to day duties.

 

* needs to backup all content to Backblaze B2 (it contains a lot of files i can never get back)

* needs to sync with my onedrive, as i use that for work related files

* needs to sync with drop box, as my wife and i share files that way

* needs to sync with google drive, as thats how my pictures sync from phone

 

So what I want is continuous sync, with scheduled backups to B2. Is that possible with so many different services in unraid?

 

Beside that its also my plex server and a normal smb server for the home LAN, those two are easy enough, its all the cloud stuff that makes it little complicated

Hi -

 

There are a number of sync type plugins and Dockers available for unRAID.  I think you can do what you want but your needs are a little more complicated than most.   The easiest thing to do is setup a free trial test server and explore the sync options via Community Applications .

Yes, it can do all of that. As mentioned, there are a lot of plugins and dockers available. It might be a little more challenging than doing it on Windows but the community here is a great resource and very helpful and responsive..
