backups

Using dsm7 can Active backup for business, wake my pc for backups and if so how? When I used windows home server years ago it would wake the pc then back it up. Thank you

I noticed that Time machine can't find either the attached USB drive nor has made backups to NAS for 3 days. Two events happened that day. I installed successfully DSM 7 and later that night a thunderstorm, lost electricity for a few hours but UPS took over and all seemed okay thereafter. (Not...

Hey there folks. I have a DS920+ with two 16TB drives installed in mirroring mode. My pc has a 2x1TB SSD and 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'm using Active Backup for Bussiness as a...

I bought 2 DS720+ where one will replicated by an offsite snapshot sync. This will be a backup system with mostly write, except in a DR situation. Total data is about 2.5 TB I mistakenly bought 5400rpm drives & wonder if a cache drive or memory upgrade would negate the need to swap to 7200rpm?

I thought this was going to be a genius idea, but I have quickly found it may not even work - unless the power of collective (Synoforum) knowledge can help me achieve my goal. ;) Setup NAS1 (Master): RS812+ with 4x 2TB SHR providing 6TB storage NAS2 (Local backup only): DS718+ with 1x6TB - no...

I have both QNAP and Synology NAS's ; I use one to backup to the other in a separate building on my property. On top of that I also have the usual PC's and cloud accounts on my network that are part of my backup routine. I did manage to figure out how to backup the QNAP directly to the...

Can any body please confirm weather or not if either of the 2 ups's I have is supported by dsm 7 they both worked on dsm 6.2 I cannot get either of them to stay connected... thanks... specs: APC BACKUPS Pro 1000s and/or CyberPower EC850LCD on Synology DS220j thanks a bunch in here guys... I...

I would like to make weekly backup of my data on an External drive attached via USB to my NAS. Maybe every sunday during night (I have atm 1.3TB data). I would like the backup to only overwrite datas that was acutally updated/created/changed during the week, and not everything. Between this 2...

Ha people, I want to present you the following. I still use the unlimited storage at google for data storage. I fear that will change in the future. I have a 415+ on which I have business files, also backups of customers and my own gear (nas) are on it, these now go extra towards google drive...

I'm looking at Synology since I do not want to do too much setup and customisation on my own. Here's what I would like the NAS to do: - store movies/pictures and access via local and over internet - backup mac (time machine) and pc computers - print server - surveillance - record a week or so...

I bought my NAS a year ago and realise that, amongst other aspects, permissions, Photo Station and Moments had created a year-long confusion; well permissions had, partly because I did not start with groups as I had only one or two users. As far as Photo Station and Moments goes, after a short...
