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...

I have a Synology DS416 with 5 TB of data I'd like to backup. I'd like to use a friend's Synology DS418 as the backup destination. The difficulty is my internet connection is low-bandwidth and capped per-month. It would take about 10 months to backup my 5 TB to my friend's DS418 over the...

I just started using a DS218+. I have three WD EasyStore 4gb drives. Two of them work fine on the NAS; a full backup takes about 45 hours. With the third drive, I cancelled a similar backup after it only reached 70% after about 30 hours. All three drives seem to work fine when connected...

I just started using a DS218+. The documentation and discussion in forums seems to indicate that a Hyper Backup to an external USB disk is in a proprietary format that requires HyperBackupExplorer to access directly from a PC. However, when I take a drive that contains a backup and connect it...

It has a hot spare drive just in case. My DS1813+ is used to back up the main server. I use rsync and I...

As some of you know I like it Synology Active Backup for Business package (ABB). I have 3 sites, with 20+ WIN10 based computers in total (also Linux, but this not the case). ABB is in everyday operation, tested Restore scenarios. Great tool. What I found yesterday: In my 3rd (remote) site, what...
