backup

Hi, After restoring a full drive I get a warning that the restore task was only partially completed. I can see from the log file that - most likely - the path names for a number of the files were too long. However, retrieving these files by referring to the log file under "activities" is a...

I recently had to change the CR2032 battery on one of my client machines. Prior to this battery change I've had no issues with this client at all. Ever since that date all standard nightly scheduled backup have failed to complete. The status is partially completed with some of the connected...

I recently set up a 4tb disk to be used t, "hyper," o backup my nas. It was a used NAS drive. I've been using a 1tb drive up until now. However when I open it in File Station it only lists a recycle bin. Is there a way to see or know it's working?? 1630418058 Ooops, sorry. Found out it was setup...

Hey guys. Recently I upgraded on e of the 2 4tb drives to 16tb. Am wondering if I can put the 4tb in a Docking station and plug into my DS920+ usb port to use it for hyper backup. I saw this one at Amazon and wonder if it's ok or would you suggest a different one. TIA...

The last episode of "NAS Noob", I had purchased DS 220+, quickly realized that my decision lacked vision, and would not allow me to expand storage according to future plans, so I returned and purchased 920+. Life has been busy so only now getting familiar with the new 920+. I didn't spend much...

Hi. Source | Hyper Backup - Synology Knowledge Center Parent and subfolder backup After I enabled a parent folder, I cannot disable a subfolder without disabling the parent folder as well. In other words, I don't manage to get the first situation on the table (link above), where the files of...

On my backup task list it shows NO for compression and encryption. How do I turn those on? Thanks

Hi hivemind 1) my partner's iphone running the iOS Photos app appears unable to backup to Synology Photos on a non-local network (my Android can) 2) my partner's iphone running the iOS Photos app appears unable to backup to Synology Photos while running in the background, so the app has to be...

Just upgraded to DSM 7 this week. It's driving me nuts. I'm using Apple devices. Previously all my mobile photo backups were to /Photos/PhoneID/ I do not want to change many thousands of photos from that path to the new /homes/photo/ Syno Help sez go to "Synology Photos > Settings > Advanced...

Can Hyper Backup be used to backup a PC drive to an external drive that is attached to that pc or is it only for backing up to and from a NAS? Thanks

Hey there folks. I have a DS920+ with two 16TB drives installed in mirroring mode. My pc has one 16TB HDD. I have around 11TB in total of data. I have the NAS connected to a gigabit router and the pc also has a gigabit ethernet port. I was using Active Backup for Bussiness as a backup solution...

I am (beta) testing hybrid share. I note the limitations on a single Hybrid Share folder per account which might be problem for me going forward. In the meantime, I am looking for a viable way to back up a hybrid share folder because I would like my own off-site copy. Hyperbackup won't allow me...

Hi I've used Hyper Backup to backup my entire NAS (DS 218J) to a USB drive using the Local (single version option) and it copied the full 2.5TB of data to the USB drive. However when I use the Local (multi-version option) with encryption I get a backup size of just 1.4TB - what's going on? I...

I was using the Recovery media creator in DSM 7 today and noticed a glitch that may throw off a newbie. Seems that when it finishes writing the USB recovery media, Windows pops open it's media format window, "hit cancel.". Just thought it may help a newbie. Also reported it to Synology who...

I am in the process of making an off-site backup of important files. I have successfully made a HyperBackup/HyperVault connection inside my local network and am "seeding" the backup to take advantage of the increased speed vs. over-the-InterNet backup (my backup is 160 Gb). So I have made a...

Hi all, Since upgrading to DSM 7 (server wipe with fresh install), which shouldn't have anything to do with my problem at all, I have not been able to log into my Synology C2 Backup account. I also want to try the new C2 Password, but it seems all the C2 accounts are linked on the same login...

I have 4 tasks running for 4 different Office 365 accounts. I'm trying to restore a Drive for a user but when I go into the portal (as the admin), I am only shown one of the 4 tasks. When I click the dropdown, nothing else shows. How do I access the other 3 tasks that are running? Pete

I need to update the package for Active Backup for Microsoft 365, but this requires 'Universal Search' running for the update to be processed. I looked to do the update 3 days ago and 'Universal Search' is still in a starting condition. Any ideas on how to fix it? Very close to uninstalling...

Hi! I'm currently running a Hyper-Backup task that moves date from NAS A (DS216+) to NAS B (DS211j). Using rsync, this works perfectly well! Since NAS B is shutting down regularly (because of security reasons and serves for backup tasks only) I would swap the backup direction. NAS B should...

Hey, wizards, I'm looking to complete my backup solution with a geographic backup. My goal is two-fold: If my house goes up in flames or my NAS A (DS920+ with 4x16TB) gets hacked by a super wizard, all my files are still safe off-site on destination B. My friend, who will host the destnation...
