    Migrating PC's with ABB

    Two users with new PC's (Win11, local logins only). Old PC's (Win10, local logins only) were daily backed up to NAS using Active Backup Business, so miles of file history there, but not looking to do a "full metal" restore of old PC's OS and software to the new PC's. Wondering the best way to...

    I have two fully updated Synology devices... DS-923+ (target) and DS-220+ (source). Target is running Active Backup for Business (ABB) and Source is running ABB Agent. The user account I've setup for the ABB backups authenticates successfully from a Windows ABB agent, but when I attempt to...

    DSM 7.1 ABB - Why is it not working?

    I am trying to get this to work without much success. I have two computers hooked up to it and both made backups for a while but then both stopped. I get an email every day stating that "The following tasks on SynologyDS218 have missed their scheduled backups because the backup sources...

    ABB Notifications

    I have ABB set to backup a Windows machine every evening. I'm getting a notification email each morning stating the backup completed successfully. Would prefer to receive just warning/error notifications. I see the notification message format in ABB, but I can't find where to disable ABB...

    ABB encryption

    Hi, First post on this Forum - I'm backing up a win11 pc (my personal computer) to a ds220+ non-encrypted share (ABB running on the same ds220+). I have backup encryption on the share enabled in ABB settings. I assume this means the backup is encrypted at rest. And, indeed, when browsing the...

    Abb update

    I usually check my 920+ once a week unless I get a message from it for an update or issue. Today I was checking Active backup for business and say a strange message, "see below." I told it to update which took about 5 seconds. Usually, it updates from the package center, was just wondering what...

    ABB Restore - Insufficient number of disks

    Trying to do a bare metal backup on a new Dell server I was configuring. When I get to selecting the restore point, it gives me the error “Insufficient number of disks. You must have at least 1 disks and 512 bytes for the sector size”. I've tried disabling the RAID controller, changing to AHCI...

    Is ABB for Mac more trouble than its worth?

    I had ABB backing up one Mac as a test. Seemed to work for a bit. Then nothing but failure reports and no hint of what the problem was or how to fix it. So in the spirit of "have you tried turning it off..." I deleted the task and started again. But I can't. I can't add the Mac back to the...

    Problems getting ABB to work via OpenVPN

    I want to set up a backup task from a remote Windows 7 PC to my Synology NAS. I have set up OpenVPN and the remote PC connects to my NAS. When I open the ABB agent on the remote PC, I type in the local IP address of my NAS, and the user name and password, but it fails to connect. Is there...

    ABB Claims bad sectors, no other diagnostic agrees

    10 days ago ABB starting failing in its daily backup, with error 23 "The disk selected for backup has bad sectors." and event 7 showing up in the Windows log. The thing is, it's only when ABB starts its backup that event 7 appears (it fails before 0% complete). The disk is a Samsung Evo 970...

    ABB or Timeshift

    I am using ABB for a Windows 11 machine and would like to add several Linux systems to it. Reading this forum, it seems like experiences are mixed with ABB and Linux. I am wondering if Timeshift to a local USB drive is the better option, but having everything on the Synology would be really...

    ABB - Pause/Suspend schedule?

    ABB is emailing me that backups are missed, because I had to send a laptop out for repair. It will be off the LAN for a week or two. How can I tell ABB to freeze, or wait? Do I change the "Scheduled" option to "Manual"? Or is there a way to indicate that it is frozen/suspended? I don't want...

    ABB + Hyper Backup + USB Copy

    Looking for potential feedback.. I am using ABB to backup 5 computers. It works wonderfully. I recently setup Hyper Backup to copy the ABB data to a USB Hard drive, to store it off of the NAS. The first run this weekend took almost 3 days for 3TB! But it worked. And a 2nd run was much...

    ABB - Full backup instead of incremental backup

    A WHSv2011 has been used as the backup server for the dozen devices (laptops/desktops) on the network over the past 10 years. So, a sizable amount of data with a lot of history is stored on the WHS server. We added a Synology DS220+ as a backup to the WHS. ABB agent is installed on the WHS and a...
