The device in question is a Synology DiskStation DS213J (NAS). I know I can encrypt shared folders, but unfortunately not the home/homes folder. All I want is that if my NAS is stolen than all data is unusable.

I don't need to have different encryption for each user, just a collective one which I manage. I know that TrueCrypt and (I think) Windows with BitLocker can encrypt the disk before you enter the OS. I was thinking the OS of my DiskStation NAS could do something similar.

I don't think this can be easily done on a Synology.

You probably have to encrypt on the client. I am for example using a dedicated user to perform backups to the synology (into that user's homedir). I am using duplicity which can do exactly that.

  • I was hoping to use Cloud Station. Very similar to Dropbox, but it puts the files in the homes folder which is not possible to encrypt. I ended up using Duplicati (looks similar to Duplicity) for backup over WebDAV (HTTPS) in an encrypted shared folder. It won't synchronize files, however, currently I only have one computer. My other users will have to manage their own synchronization method or use the unencrypted Cloud Station. Thank you for your answer. Jan 27, 2014 at 10:37
