Question about Synology Ds118
Can I use the Android / iOS app to automatically create regular backups on the NAS? Does the app know which images it has already copied? How does the app behave with pictures that I have deleted on my smartphone? I don't necessarily want to have them deleted on the NAS either, thank you very much :)

Backups of pictures / music / documents are no problem, backups of Android OS / Apple OS / app settings are more difficult and time-consuming but not impossible with certain external tools and knowledge.
The app monitors the folders you assign to it, the monitored folders are compared with the NAS content and what is not on the NAS is copied to the NAS.
Deleted / changed files is a matter of settings the "Backup" tema has many setting modes e.g. "son father grandfather principle".
As a hint, if it is important data / pictures I would store them on a RAID 1 NAS (NAS with at least 2 HD / SSDs that mirror (double write) the data).
A single hard disk does not last forever, with two you simply replace the defective ones.
The NAS recognises the new hard disk and mirrors the data from the existing (still functioning hard disk) to the new hard disk.

RAID1 NAS are with Synology from 2xx series e.g. DS 218 // DS 216 (e.g. 2xx = number of hard drives: 2 /// e.g. x18 series year 2018).
