Now that I have the NAS mounted, it’s time to use cron to backup the machine nightly using a script that has been developed by another user.

There seems to be a hiccup with the /etc/fstab with Raspbian.

The current workaround is the following code installed into the /etc/rc.local file using sudo nano /etc/rc.local

# mount the synology share /pi directory

sleep 30

sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.1.8:/volume1/pi /media/SYNOLOGY
