my question is about automatiom and backups.

So I go to work and generate about 1GB of files a day, i want to have a NAS at home that when i come home with my laptop and connect to the network it uploads all my outstanding files to the server then removes them from my laptop automatically. What software would I go about using for this? I'll be getting a Synology NAS.

I also need access to these files off the NAS at home and work but I already understand the FTP setup for that. I'm a Windows user, but I'm linux literate for any server side config.

I've looked at a bunch of softwares so far, but nothing has been clear that it could support this. Only timed or manual back ups really. Happy to hear about non-free software too. thanks for your help!

I've found for automatically moving files its best to stay as simple as possible and the simplest way is always command line. So I would first map the NAS on the laptop, then create a batch file that moves the files and then using Task Scheduler, create a task that runs when it connects to your home network.

task scheduler option 1

task scheduler option 2
