I recently tested Hybrid Backup Sync 2.1.170914 and didn't see any big problem for RTRR. I didn't try this newer version yet though.

My 653a is still stuck on Hybrid Backup Sync 2.1.170914

I don't have this newer version available in app center. Anyone else have this problem?

*update

nevermind their probably the same, seeing the release notes for fixes. They probably just change the numbering once it went official only.

PS: apparently theres going to be a video intro as well. Maybe they will sum up whats different between this and the old backup station

The manual says that I can setup a remote server as "RTRR, Rsync, FTP, CIFS/SMB" - but I only see the RTRR option. Are the other ones working?

Can RTRR be setup to backup to an Ubuntu server?

I've been using HBS for a few months to backup to Backblaze. Last week it stopped working. All jobs (including new ones) time out with this message.
Type Date Time Users Source IP Computer name Content
Error 2017/09/22 09:18:22 admin 127.0.0.1 localhost [CloudBackupSync] (Sync) job [Cloud Upload documents] failed: Failed to connect to the cloud storage service after multiple attempts. Check your network settings.
The jobs seem to work for a few minutes than the upload speed goes to 0.0.I can back up files fine using the Backblaze web interface. I've also re-installed but no change.

There also is some good information about SSD Caching in the first 4-5 minutes of this presentation.

thx i only watched it midway. i'll check it out.

yep this r/w mode is what worried me. at least with read only, for instant power loss, it won't nearly be as bad if the permanent storage data had been residing on ssd.

If you have uninterrupted power using ups, then r/w may be fine. In video they mentioned something about 2 ssd in raid 1 being sufficient protection but i'm not too sure they meant for incidence of sudden power loss. because how could it, they're both ssds and hence susceptible to the same problem isn't it?

I really do not know what you are referring to?
Why would CrashPlan be a bad choice?
