I can only write how my solution looks like, whether it is the best I can not say.I am about to buy a NAS and would like to understand how to protect it from viruses and ransomware attacks?
Do you have any suggestions? Be simple, I am slow to understand
NAS as Network Attached StorageI can only write how my solution looks like, whether it is the best I can not say.
My NAS is connected to my Fritzbox.
The NAS has several shares that can be mounted from PC as drives.
These drives are mounted but only for the time when a backup should be made.
As far as I know, a virus examines all PC drives and since the NAS shares are not mounted can not make the virus.
I know that this is not the best solution, but it is better than nothing.
For saving I use a simple batch file.I never mount drives, not even temporarily. The backup software makes the copy in a programmed way, through username and password, without ever connecting the units to the system. I hope it is the safest solution.
For saving I use a simple batch file.
Batch file content:
1. mount drives
2. run backup with RoboCopy
3. unmount drives

lastly here of the NAS does not solve the ramsonware problem

This can not happen, all my data is stored on the PC in a local drive. If a virus destroys the data, I notice it immediately, because I work with the data every day. And if the data is destroyed, I don't start a backup. So the NAS backup can't be destroyed either.Between point 1 and point 3, every malware can destroy the files on nas
If you put your ear close to your nas you will hear low-volume screams "let's go, go on, go on ..."
It's the viruses trying to get in

I have been using my NAS(Buffalo LS210D0301) for 7 years and have never had any problems with viruses.
The only antivirus I use is Windows Defender, and it does its job very well.
Of course, as a good PC user, you have to know what you are clicking on, and not just click on everything that is offered to click on.
Then you have no problems with any virus.
Then it is better to test it in a virtual environment, like VMware.The question is simple.
Sometimes I try other applications for work reasons. This is a risk, whoever gives me a sw may not know that it is the vehicle of a viral infection. But the damage done does not take into account good faith.
So solve the problem with a nat? Better an ftp server? A password synchronization system?
