User Reviews

Users praise ease of use, automatic backups, fast NAS transfers, configurable options, and responsive support. Recurrent drawbacks include lack of background operation, timeouts/slow backups for large libraries, no automatic sync, incomplete metadata preservation, and occasional NAS connection issues. Overall, a solid NAS backup tool with good configurability, but it requires manual operation and may not fit needs requiring seamless automation.

Pros

Easy to use and quick setup
Automatic backups and fast performance, suitable for large libraries
Works well with Synology NAS and keeps photos organized on NAS (dated folders) for easy lookup
Rich options and configuration settings with good descriptions
Responsive developer support and prompt responses

Cons

Background operation not supported; the app must stay in foreground and backups may not resume after switching apps
Timeouts and slow backups for large libraries
No true sync feature; backups are manual and changes/movements aren’t auto-detected
Metadata is not fully preserved (e.g., certain metadata like location data may be lost)
Not an official Synology app and occasional NAS connection/setup quirks
