SAMBA server beginner help wanted!

[Snoevit]

Hi!
Im a total newbie of all this and want some help.
Im trying to set up an Samba server with 2 shares, 1 for each user. (so far so good, i think).

After creating two new

• sudo useradd -M name

with 'passwd' i install samba.
In

• /etc/samba/smb.conf

i add

• [share1]
  comment = share1
  path = /mnt/usb1
  browseable = yes
  create mask = 0775
  directory mask = 0775
  valid users = name1
  writeable = yes

and again for name2 / share2.

[Global/Public] Is still untouched.

After that i do

• smbpasswd -a name1

And

• chmod 770 -R /mnt/usb1
  chown -R name1:dietpi /mnt/usb1

I do the same thing for name2 to /mnt/usb2.

Is this safe enough? No guest access, need correct passwd to access each share?

STEP TWO:
Step two of all this is to use 'dietpi-sync' to sync BOTH of this shares to another unit ( Rpi or similar )
But for security reasons i wounder if it is a good way to use a third user, e.g dietpi for the sync process?

How do i do that?

• valid users = name1, dietpi

with

• chown -R dietpi:dietpi /mnt/usb1

?
Is there a better way to do this? Or am i way off in my thinking?

I have found an article that introduces how to make a NAS box by Raspberry pi. It is very convenient and small.
