Hey, I am trying to create a brainless backup for my Photo/Video assets - I own a photo/video production company.

CURRENT SETUP

Windows PC

  • Internal working drive
  • Direct-attached QNAP RAID 5 box for longer-term storage
  • QNAP NAS on my home network for failure/redundancy
  • Backblaze for all my direct-attached storage (including the QNAP RAID box)

QNAP comes with a nice software (QSYNC) that creates a 2-way sync between my NAS and my RAID box, and that works great. Every time I add, remove, or modify any files/folders on my RAID box, the files automatically update on the NAS (and vice versa).

WHAT I WANT TO HAPPEN

When is start a new project, I create the folder structure on my internal Working drive and offload all my photos/videos to the working drive.

THEN, that structure is one-way synchronized to my RAID box (daily? hourly? doesn't have to be instant, but it does need to be automatic and regular).

THEN, QSYNC picks up the folder and does its usual 2-way sync thing between the RAID box and the NAS.

Yes, I can manually drop the folder structure from the Working Drive to RAID box - which is what I'm doing now - but as the project continues, there are usually subsequent iterations of edited files - so I'd like these to one-way sync to the RAID box automatically.

What apps/software will help me accomplish this?

Thanks!
