backup

I've ordered a new Mac Mini M2 Pro which will be replacing my ageing Intel i7 Mini. I have a TimeMachine backup folder on the NAS for the existent Mini and will want to wipe this and once it is empty use this for the new Mac. What is the bet way of cleaning the folder out?

I have a 920 setup with webdav. I am trying out Arq and CCC. When trying to backup, it says the destination drive folder has 0kb free and fails. I cannot figure out why - permissions seems set ok and no restrictions. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I'm wanting to backup my DS-420+ to a bunch of hard disks. When I started, I populated it with four 8 terabyte drives, later replacing two of them with 16 terabyte drives, and finally, last week, replacing the final two 8 terabyte drives with 16 terabyte ones. So now I have four 8 terabyte...

I have started backing up my DS1520+ via Hyper Backup. As Backup Destination I use "Local Folder (single version)". After backing up, when I browse the backed up files, they look like copies of the original files. This get me thinking: Could I restore the data without the Hyper Backup software...

Can Hyper Backup do incremental backups? After my initial backup of my NAS to an external hard drive connected to the NAS via USB, will Hyper Backup only backup those files that have changed or new files created since the last backup? Or will it backup everything again? I am backing up 9 TB of...

Hello everyone! I use ABB to backup (bare metal backups) different stations, including a PC running both Linux Mint and Win10 systems, but never in parallel. Only one or the other. ABB agents are set to backup on a daily basis (or more depending on events) and I receive detailed reports every...

I am running a Hyper Backup task trying to backup ~8TB onto an external USB drive. My Hyper Backup task keeps hanging with, I believe, all files transferred but stuck at 0B/s and no completion. I have cancelled and restarted my NAS but the task still takes days and hangs. I had this working...

I created a new backup Task in ABB to back up my Mac. Initially unchecked the option to "Back up external hard drive" in the Task Settings. Once I saw ABB had completed its initial backups successfully, I selected "Back up external hard drive" so that my external HD would be included in the...

I have Active Backup for Business Mac client v2.5 installed on iMac 2015 running Ventura 13.1. Full disk access is granted. The Agent keeps complaining: Error. Connecting to a different server is not allowed. To change to another server please log out to proceed. I'm ripping my hair out...

I have an external USB drive with two disks. Together they are the size of the data on my NAS, so I could just backup via USB copy if the two disk formed one RAID0 volume. However I do not want a RAID0 arragemnet, because in case of failure of one drive, I loose everything on both drives...

I backup the data on my DS1520+ via external USB drives. I would like to format these backup drives in exFAT format, so that, if needed, I can mount them easily on my Mac as well. 
 Is this advisable or is this a bad idea? Do other people backup to exFAT formatted drives? 
 Also, I think, I need...

Hi guys! I'm trying to export the status log under Active Backup for Google Workspace > Task List > [Task] > Details. Unfortunately, I don't see a UI element to trigger this action. I'm afraid this feature is not implemented yet. :eek: Can you confirm my apprehension? Do you know of a...

At the moment I use an hdd in a usb enclosure connected to my DS923+ for backup purposes. I consider changing that with a DS120j which I can find in quite good price, so I can move this backup system off site too. My question is, regarding the low processing power of the J series, can DS120j...

Hi everyone, Just bought a DS720+ which will be my primary working/storage NAS, which I want to backup onto my old NAS, a QNAP TS-253D (which will be offsite). Can you tell me if it's ok to go with r-sync backup (Hyper backup on Synology + Hybrid backup on QNAP), or should I buy another...
