Remote Backup Solutions

A great product for somebody looking for backup solutions

Great for remote shooting and using the same backup batteries I used with my laptop!

This is really a backup device for me. I normally use the remote on my phone through Leica Fotos App.

One of the best solutions if you use sata drives.

I only recommend APC going forward as there have been too many other solutions that are not as dependable.

Even though the Perfect Cue System comes with a remote, we constantly purchase an extra remote as a backup.

Great surprise! I was thinking about backup and it’s much more! You can connect remote and have a online disc. It was what I always lock for!!!!

So first, I am an avid Synology user with both rackmount devices as well as desktop devices. This particular NAS is used for remote backup in my backup scenario. I'm a big fan of backup in 3 places in case a device fails (I have not had a Synology failure). I have a daily driver DS723+ as my primary, a DS720+ for plex, and a local RS1221+ that those backup to. I then replicate the RS1221 via rsync to the DS124. All of this is automated and I'm limited to speeds at the sending and receiving ends of the providers. I'm usually sync'ing about 6GB per day and all of this occurs to the DS124 withing 20 minutes across the internet. The unit is much more snappy than the previous generation DS118 and of course, DSM from Synology is amazing. I really recommend this NAS for this particular use case. If you are new to NAS's and want to try one out, this is a good start, but it is really not meant for heavy workloads with a lot of connected users. I have a 16TB Ironwolf in this one (on the Synology QVL) and could not be happier. Keep in mind that Synology is getting more picky about the drives that go in their devices, especially in the larger drive size variants, so do a little research before you decide on this NAS. Pretty much limited to one 16TB drive on the QVL if you go with that size. Again, consider the use case. If you want a starter NAS or something that is good for remote rsync, I can heartily recommend this NAS. If you are looking at using heavy workloads or a lot of connected users, start at the DS224+ level.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This remote came in perfect timing, my son had just lost my remote and I had this one as a backup. This remote has great features, is straight to the point, and sleek looking. The buttons are easy to press and just overall appealing.

I normally buy the Remote Audio BDS power distribution box but I had one fail on me recently. This took me by surprise because in over 30 years of doing location audio I have never had a power distro fail on me. I have back ups for most everything in my kit but I didn't have a backup for the BDS. The BDS died on a job and it was a panic because my receivers are not battery powered. I had to come up with a McGuyver so I tore apart a bunch of stuff and rigged something that would get me by for the day. The next day I took a close look at the broken BDS to see if I could fix it. No luck and it was out of warranty. I went online to B&H to order a new one but found the PSC instead for a lot better price. I know PSC makes quality stuff but I was not sure it would work with my setup. It arrived within a couple of days and I have been using it now for about a month. I can tell you it works just as good as the BDS, was considerably less money, has the same number of outputs and inputs and is slightly smaller. Hopefully it will not fail me like the BDS did but just in case I think I'll order another one for a backup.
