RE: Happy Holidays, Hive!

That's cool! I have been really impressed with the M chips since Apple launched them. I know there were some security issues with the earlier versions, but the performance is just phenomenal. I think Synology is kind of easy mode for a lot of people. If you have the skills (which I know you do), you can probably piece it together better and cheaper. @themarkymark turned me on to BackBlaze and I have it set up as an additional offsite backup for all of my servers. I think I pay like $10 per month and it stores all of my archives from Veeam.
