True Image 2019 backup targets
Hi,
I am looking for a bit of guidance and advice please.
I have a Synology NAS at home set up as a backup target for our computers, and all works fine.
My daughters have moved out and into their own homes now with their computers and their versions of ATI2019.
Now these will still back up when brought back home and connected to the network, but, I am wondering if I can set the backup target to be our NAS across the internet as a cloud target?
The NAS has a static IP & a domain attached, so is already accessible from the internet for Synology Drive, Photo etc. so they have access to the unit from their homes, it is just how to get ATI to send their computer backups to this remote Synology NAS I am stuck with.
Does anyone know if this is this possible please?
Thanks in advance.

I've set up a VPN server on my router to give remote access to computers and drives on my LAN. While testing the VPN connection from a laptop ATI initiated a backup to a NAS drive. I didn't want that to happen but I can confirm that it works.
My ASUS router has the OpenVPN server and client built in. The OpenVPN client for Windows is free, and implementation at both ends was relatively painless.
If your router does not support a VPN server you could install the OpenVPN server on Windows. That should work without problem, but you would have to have that Windows server running whenever your daughter wanted to access anything on your LAN.
