Our management received a quotation for a SYNOLOGY RackStation RS812+. Although the specs are quite impressive i still think i could get better results and more functionality with a server running OI.
Main requested functions are: Backupserver with timebackups Fileserver with syncfuntion to/from tablets (android/apple) Anyone has any experience with this?
