Data archive is not backup! What do you use?
-
@scottalanmiller so basically, if I want to move stuff from a NAS appliance (which does'nt support the thing), I need a VM in the middle to manage the copy/move/remove operations. right? (ok, then stopping hijacking the thread)

That's the case with anything, really. Most NAS support it though. NetApp doesn't, but eww, avoid that. Synology, ReadyNAS, ioSafe, SAM-SD, most NAS support it.

@Francesco-Provino never used those (b2, glacier) how do you access them? REST API? client? anything special required?
I use both via the CLI, it's very easy to script the upload of the archives :).
This is the official guide for the AWS cli. -
If you want access to Backblaze B2 on a NAS that doesn't support it, the specific tool for that is Aclouda. It's not publicly available yet, but you can always sweet talk them into being part of their private pool perhaps.

Any linux VM can do it easily.
Qnap support it, also.
You can install the AWS/B2 cli in any linux-based NAS, in truth. -
I've restrict my choice to XZ vs LZIP.
XZ is adopted by GNU, the kernel distribution and the majority of linux flavours…
But it looks like LZIP is better designed, more simple, with better docs, but not that widespread.Any advice on that?
