From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

This is the dumbest question ever, but here goes: I'm trying to use pika to make regular backups of my whole system to my synology Nas. So I'd choose "remote", but no matter what I enter after the SMB it doesn't take it. How do I back up to my synology Nas using pika? I like pika because the UI is fucking stupid simple, except this one little nugget.
You have a permissions or addressing problem.
If the nas is seeing your systems requests and saying “no”, it’s a permissions problem. If it’s not seeing your systems requests then it’s an addressing problem.
I'm not sure but I think for pika you need a borg server? I use restic for my backups and have only partially looked at borg so I might be wrong
I have had issues with using a NAS over SMB because of some malarky about reverting to SMB 1.0 or something. Dunno; I stopped backing up to my NAS and just use external drives.
That's probably what I'm going to do eventually. But my Nas is working not problem on dolphin. Whenever I needed to, I'd just drag and drop my files into the nas through dolphin.
