Do I have any options to backup my Synology Nas in the office to the same NAS I have at home? Sadly I cant get a fixed IP with Sky at home but was unsure if something such as no-ip work? I have no idea how things such as that work so any advice would be really appreciated.

I guess my other option would be to back up to something such as Amazon S3 but it would be good to utilise the existing NAS if possible.
 
Thanks for the information, very useful. I've never used a VPN before but does that basically mean that my Nas at home would effectively be connected to my work network and then my home NAS would have an "internal IP" address in the same range as the other equipment here?
 
Thanks for post, very informative. Ive tried to connect the 2 Synologys but have been having problems. Not sure if its a port issue on the router at work to be honest but I think Ive opened all the correct ports.

I do also have a Draytek Router at the office which might make things easier? Is it possible to connect to the office VPN from home using the sky router or is it just a case of connecting the Synology NAS at home to the draytek VPN?
 
Just trying to connect to the Draytek VPN from the Synology and nothing I do seems to be working. Do I need to open any ports either on the Draytek or Sky router? Or on the home Synology for that matter?
 
I didnt try to connect from a computer as I thought the setup (lan to lan VPN) would mean it wouldnt work from a computer or have I totally missed the point?

Do I just need to try and set up a new VPN in Windows and see if it connects?
