Synology nas time machine high sierra3/19/2024 Setting quota by user means "others" could write to the target folder unimpeded. Setting quota at the folder level means anyone can use anything to write to the target folder and it all "counts" towards folder quota and once it's gone it's gone. Since most SOHO users run completely open unsecure systems without using credentials, the point is moot. We might also configure them so we can restrict those accounts to (for example) only access certain machines, can only be used certain times of day, never have any Internet access, and so on. If you were using an infrastructure where you used credentials, ie everyone has their own loginid and password - using a dedicated account for backup means that you are not using the identity of a flesh and blood "person" to perform service tasks - and if you change the password of that person, you don't have to "remember" to go update the backup process to reflect the changes (otherwise your backup stops working and you wouldn't know if you aren't checking the logs.) In business, we use "service" accounts all the time.
