I'm a little unclear what flow you have in mind, so I'll attempt a couple different answers... 1. If you're trying to use the Synology NAS device as z/OS reachable storage -- DFSMShsm ML3-like storage, as a notable example -- then IBM Advanced Archive for DFSMShsm communicating with MinIO "somewhere" that then uses backend Synology storage should be fine as one possible pattern. Yes, in principle at least a MinIO server could run on the same Ubuntu Linux machine where your zPDT+z/OS runs. I think it's neater/cleaner to make the Synology device itself S3/cloud object storage compatible by running MinIO directly on the Synology device, but yes, you can run MinIO (or another cloud object storage server) elsewhere. 2. If you want to back up Ubuntu Linux files to a Synology device there are myriad ways to do that. For example, you could configure Ubuntu Linux as a NFS client to the Synology NAS's NFS server (that you've enabled on the Synology device -- it's configurable), and then you can access it just like any other file directory and use whatever file copying or other backup tool you wish. - - - - - - - - - - Timothy Sipples I.T.
