Why Backup QNAP to pCloud?

QNAP is a network-attached storage service provided by a Taiwanese company, primarily for file sharing, virtualization, storage management, and monitoring applications. The service can be your backup "hub," or storage unit for all your important files and media like photos, videos, and music. Because this service can be used freely in the home network, it is loved by many users.

But it is worth noting that QNAP devices have been the target of ransomware attacks for a long time, which makes many users' data damaged or inaccessible due to virus intrusion. If the user backs up important data to the cloud data backup services, such as pCloud, the user can retrieve it from pCloud when the data is lost.

In addition, many users choose to back up QNAP data to pCloud because pCloud can:
