okay, understood! Thank for the support!

Thanks for your help again, Jens. I already tested setup as you described. Only for the second Xpenology unit I was trying to find a way to use the VPN connection of the first unit. This I was unable to do. Your solution is to have 2 individual VPN connections to the backup location. So LAN IP ranges would be x.x.1.x, VPN-1 x.x.2.x and VPN-2 x.x.3.x for instance, right?

Thanks for the feedback. I am not very familiar with the way QC works, I expected it to be a DDNS solution, but now understand it to be a gateway. Probably not going to use it, knowing this. I want to backup 2 Xpenology units to 1 off-site unit. VPN is via one of these Xpenology units. This I can get working, but having the second one use this VPN connection as well seems to be too complex for me. 😣

I purchased an older Synology DSxxx unit and intend to use Quickconnect for accessing it. I plan to use it for off-site backup of my Xpenology unit. So my Xpenology unit would query Quickconnect to find the real Synology unit Would there be any issues or advices against doing so?

- Outcome of the update: SUCCESSFUL - DSM version prior update: DSM 6.2.2-24922-1 - Loader version and model: JUN'S LOADER v1.04b - DS918+ - Using custom extra.lzma: NO - Installation type: BAREMETAL - ASRock H370M-ITX/ac + Intel Gigabit CT + Intel G5400 - Additional comment: reboot required after manual upload (no notifications received of updates in DSM 1 or 2 )

Minor energy saving However, if system is fully installed, i would not bother to take it out, just for that.

Plex is likely to keep system awake. Other packages may also do this, like indexing services etc. PS. you can remove the wifi module of the mainboard, by removing 2 little screws on the back of the mainboard, fixing the module.

Same here, although I did not notice it at first. Added simple Intel Gigabit CT desktop card in the end.

Okay, understood. That is a pity! Thanks for explaining in detail.

You make it sound, like it never will? Why?

Well, in the meantime, I did. No success, up to v0.5 😓

My humble apologies. I just checked and although the bond seems okay (from migration of previous build) it only has a single LAN connection. Sorry to have been providing incorrect info. My perfect picture is now shattered 😫 Anyone tried with alternative extra.lzma?

You are correct, never noticed this (or expected...silly actually) Nevertheless they do work 😀

Both. I use load balancing. Both ports are identical, i belive.

I use a G5400 with 8GB RAM. Buid details
