Anybody got a UGreen NAS?

Do recent firmware have a built in remote backup capability that supports S3 buckets as the target?

I see conflicting messages online so want to check?

E.g. early suggests no capability and others saying they have restic support.

@ben I have a couple of 4800+ units. Cloud drives supported are

Baidu Netdisk
Google Drive
Aliyun Drive
Quark Drive
Microsoft OneDrive
Dropbox
5 115 Life

It was just Google Drive last time I looked. I'd imagine S3 support is coming and doable via Docker in the meantime.

@ben I have seen instructions for installing Tailscale and imagine installing rclone via CLI would also be straightforward. For now I'm just sticking to the as-delivered OS.

I also run TrueNAS and Unraid on other boxes (my own); expected to use one on UGreen boxes but haven't felt compelled yet.

Only quasi-regret is choosing BTRFS for main 4800+ volume. Slow to start and uses more power. Don't really need it. Better on SSD (and quieter).
