Box Backups to NAS

Hello,

I am looking to automate backups from our company's Box account to local storage, partly for regulatory reasons, but also so we have time based backups and deletion protection, in addition to what is already provided by Box in terms of redundancy etc.

I am looking at NAS models - Synology and QNAP. Synology has cloud sync, but this just keeps a mirror of the cloud storage, not a time based backup. There is Hyper Backup, but seems clunky to combine this with cloud sync. QNAP has Hybrid Backup Sync (HBS) which I am looking into. Does anyone have any experience with this? Looking to roll this out ASAP so appreciate any input. Thanks!

    Did you find a workflow for this?

    I'm in the same boat

    I did! Ended up going with Synology. I set up Cloud Sync (1-way only, download from cloud to NAS) to one folder. Sync runs on a daily basis (overnight). I then set up Hyper Backup, which takes versioned copies of the Cloud Sync folder into a second folder. The backup schedule also runs overnight, but 2 hours after the sync process.

    So far it's working flawlessly. Tested file recovery and no issues.

    Hope that helps!
