Backup From QNAP / TrueNAS to FileLu
Offsite cloud backup with FileLuSync, Rclone VFS mount, scheduled jobs, and Web UI management.

Already using QNAP or TrueNAS? Secure your data with FileLu’s offsite cloud backup. FileLuSync gives you a Web UI to manage sync jobs, browse folders, view logs, upload files, and mount FileLu as a local drive.


Install FileLuSync via YAML on TrueNAS
  1. Go to the Apps section.
  2. Click the Discover App button at the top right.
