    Info macOS 27 Golden Gate ABB support and issues

    Just installed the Developer beta on a Mac mini M4 PRO. ABB still needs Rosetta 2 support, being an Intel-compiled client. This will work for macOS 27, but with OS2,8 this will no longer be the case. Backup completed with no issues (incremental one) PS. The Liquid A$$ is much better and...

    How to Save a ABB to a Removable Drive?

    Sorry for this simple and basic question. I have had my Synology running ABB for some time now and my drives are of course now full.

    ABB agent

    Not sure this is a bug or a certificate issue. Been using Abb for years. every month or so it stops working and I have to tell the agent to proceed due to a certificate not being trusted. After doing that it goes and backs up for another month or so. Is this a bug or just how it works?

    ABB Windows Agent - Wrong Recovery Portal

    Server information shown is correct and backups are working as they should. When I click on the Recovery Portal button, it goes to an older server and not the server at the IP address shown. I've tried reinstalling the Agent with no effect.

    ABB and macOS 26 Error

    I recently updated to OS 26 and now my Synology Active Backup Agent keeps randomly getting internet errors while backing up. If I edit the connection and reconnect it fixes it briefly but then comes back. Wasn't happening before. Any ideas?

    DSM 7.2 macOS 26 Tahoe ABB support and issues

All in all, ABB started with zero issues, as did all other Syno apps (Drive, BeeDrive, BeeStation, etc). The backup was 8 min long...

    ABB problems with macOS 15.5 - with possible workaround

    Backups for three Macs started failing (suspect this may be coincident with OS upgrades to 15.5). Symptom was unable to locate the Data Volume to take snapshot. Reselecting the Data volume (when editing the task) appears to have corrected the issue for me (at the time I'm posting, these backup...

    Disabling ABB when connected over VPN - my solution

    I've been using 8-bay Synology DiskStations for years, but only recently started using the ABB support for backing up desktops. Works great, but I wanted to use it on laptops. But my users travel and often use a VPN to connect back to the office. However, this meant they'd burn through...

    ABB Backups slow ? Maybe your agent is out of date

    I'm one of those who has a PC that is taking hours and hours to backup lately. A couple of weeks ago the daily backup took only a few minutes. In the last couple of week it looked like it was closer to 10-12 hours. As as test, I created a new task to backup a different, small data volume, to...
