backup

Hi! I am using HyperBackup on my DS261play to backup to C2. I basically selected all root folders (Homes, Photos, Videos) but deselected the root folder I created to store MP4's Surveillance Station generates. Turns out that HB backs up those files anyway, resulting in many Gb's being backed up...

Two separate items below... --- First - new Synology user here. My first backup using AB4B failed on a Win10 client. Multiple volumes being backed up from a single machine. Two internal drives and three usb connected drives. Error was 23. Bad block on a particular drive. Fixing that. 1) is...

Does anyone still backup their data on DVD or BDR Disks. But are these still a practical way to store data? It will take 80 BDR 25GB disk or 40 BDR 50GB disk or 16 128GB BDR-XL to store my 2TB of data. If an EMP were to be nation or world wide, even the cloud would be rendered useless. Or is...

I'm going to repurpose a USB hard drive for backups. My current cunning plan is to use 'USB Copy' so as to make a backup which would be readable by users should the jobbies hit the fan. If the Synology goes down they should be able to unplug it, attach it to their Mac and access files. As far as...

I've got 4TB ish of data that needs to be backed up "off site". I've set up a Hyper Backup but its slow and going to take a week or so. In this scenario, I'm in the off site location and I already have a copy of the data - cos we're already doing backups. So, can I create a Hyper Backup using...

I use Hyper Backup to backup private shares on one Synology NAS to another Synology NAS. It works fine, but I really want to include a simple (simplistic) ransomware test and perform the backup only if the share seems clean. Is there any way to invoke Hyper Backup from a user task? Or is there...

I have an off-site backup which I want to move from its current hard drive to my new Synology. I can just copy it over, right. But, say I discover the Syno backup software is nice and I want to use that, will it be happy to start with the 'seeded' files at the destination? I don't see why not...

I received this question over last weekend, when I was out of my digital kingdom :) Here is a similar, but not same tested case for SynoDrive Team folder source based on mounted NFS Share from remote NAS. Works! Back to this thread question Testing scenario environment: NAS#1 - data source...

Hello, I am looking for a method to verify my hyper back up images. I'm just about to upgrade the drive space and want to be 100% sure that the back ups are working. My wish is to be able to perform a full image extraction (all shared folders) to a clean external HDD. Then I could perform a...

Hey there, How can I backup Moments with HyperBackup correctly? I'm trying to backup the Moments app to a cloud via WebDav, but the task hangs with 0% on backuping Moments application. I've waited for half a day, but nothing is changed. The utilization of both network, HDD and CPU are about 0...

Hi I an a new user of Synology, operating in a Mac environment and having backed up all files to iCloud. To be sure to be sure i would like an additional backup that doesn't rely on Apple. Is it possible to sync backup between iCloud and Synology? I have done some checking but have not come...

As I'm slowly moving things across to my new NAS, it's time to re-do my backup strategy. But because I'm new to all this, I don't feel I yet have sufficient experience to design a NAS backup strategy. So, here's what I used to have (which I was happy with, and had lots of redundancy, especially...

Trying to set up a Hyper Backup from new DS218+ to existing DS212. However, no matter which source folder I choose on the DS218+, I get the error: The shared folder cannot be a backup source because it has been selected as a destination I get this error no matter which folder I choose on...

Just moved from DS212 to DS218+. I have had an external USB drive connected to the DS212 and have nightly Hyper Backup jobs to that drive. I used Hyper Backup rsync to copy my Hyper Backup config from DS212 -> DS218+, and have moved the USB drive to the DS218+. I also re-linked the backup...

New versions of Hyper Backup and Hyper Backup Vault (2.2.4-1214) were posted a couple of days ago, but only for some models/processors.... not sure why it's not available for all. And seems strange, as the OCD among us would want our version of Hyper Backup to match our version of Hyper Backup...

Dear all, I have a DS214play NAS, no raid configured. So I use both 4Tb disks as a single 8Tb space. I connected an external HD (usbshare1) on which I installed the database (music, video) from which Plex draws; and two external HDs (usbshare2 and usbshare3) via a small USB hub, on which I...
