active backup

I have two DS918+ in a high availability configuration and I backup about 20 Windows office machines to it with very low volume data (about 1GB/machine/day most of which is seemingly Windows updates). I used global de-duplication (currently at 2.4x de-duplication rate which also strikes me as...

Hi. I need to migrate all data from one Microsoft 365 tenant to another tenant. There is no direct way for tenant2tenant migration provided by Microsoft. Is there a way how we can leverage Synology NAS and probably its Active Backup for Microsoft 365 package to perform that migration? I can...

Something very odd is happening with Active Backup. I used AB to backup a DS920+ to a DS918+ (I also have a hyper backup on eSATA becasue beta ;-). I upgraded the disks in the 920 to 4K sector size and did a bare metal restore. It worked great, wire speed limited, everything back as expected...

Ok short story I noticed that my backup had not worked for the last month. When I tried to look into it my agent is telling me my certificate is wrong, and do I want to trust it or not. I wasn't sure if I should be just trusting the Certificate but TBH it's all over my local network, but...

Dear all, I am using ABB to backup a physical server in full mode, I'd restored it one time recently because of ransomware. Now, I think it will be better when backup it to cloud. So can I do this?

As I had to send my laptop to dell for repairs, I created a full system backup. In the hindsight, it is probably a bad decision. Today the laptop returns with a new motherboard. I booted the laptop with the usb drive I created before. signed in the Synology and select my backup. However, I got...
