    In my constant battle to avoid cloud backups and handle my own backup requirements (spanning multiple OSs, devices and location - why make it easy?) I've been playing around with QNAPs and the QTS OS that you use to manage your storage. It's brilliant. Not in a "it does everything for me" way (though it kinda does), or it's an amazing innovation way, or in a "it's the best UI I've seen" way (though it's definitely close). It's more that it's so ridiculously easy to use. Think iPad interface mixed with a classic desktop (MacOS LaunchPad style), with Windows/MacOS/GNOME style windows. It's fast, it's responsive, and it's so unobtrusive and unassuming that I forget: this thing is running in my browser. I remote into servers constantly, and this, to me, is what remoting into a server should always be like. Kudos to QNAP. Seriously impressed.

    cheers Chris Maunder

      Good to know. Thanks! I can also recommend Synology's web app.

        Their front ends for the QNAP NAS boxes have generally been really really good over the last few years. I have an old TS-509 with a raid 5 configuration on 5x2TB disks and it is just fine and dandy!

          I recently bought a Synology and I agree the web interface is excellent.
