snapshot

I am not a literate person on this subjects... I have a DS1517+ where I backup the VMs from esxi 6.7 free. Using ABB, I can not backup a new linux VM, while other VMs (one windows and one linux) have no problems. The error states " The operation is not supported on the object. An error...

I tried ABB, but ABB agent doesn't work with current systems :/ (I use Ubuntu 25.04 with BTRFS) after reading a bit, I can't use ABB (doesn't support my kernel and doesn't support BTRFS !! 😮 ) What are the other options? how do you do it ? I want to store a snapshot / bare metal copy, so if...

Hi everyone - Trying to run snapshot replication from one machine to another (which is offsite). I'm connecting via ip address. During the snapshot replication wizard, I am able to login to the remote machine fine (it shows the connected user account correctly after). However when I click...

Need to restore a file from Snapshot. Everything looks as expected EXCEPT the browse button remains disabled.

I am trying to setup a secondary NAS, a DSM223, as a remote (and offsite) backup system. I want to backup about 10T worth of data. 1) Hyperbackup is unsuitable for such a large task (it needed months to create the initial copy). 2) Snapshot replication to a remote server is much faster, but...

Hello! I recently realized that snapshot replication to a secondary NAS doesn't seem to work quite as I expected. Perhaps this is common knowledge, but I didn't realize that CoW deduplication across shared folders on the source NAS wouldn't be retained on the destination NAS after replication...

I am thinking about this solution, just want to make sure it makes sense, and I am not overlooking something. What started this I am looking at the DP7400 and with the cost I think I can do the features I like without spending that much $$. Use a RS3621xs+ with Active Backup for Business to...

I currently have a UC3400 used for a VMWare iSCSI datastore. I now want to also create a SMB share. Since the UC3400 can't do this, I am thinking about getting a unit to replace this one to allow the share. What unit would be good for this? I do have another project I can use the UC3400 for. I...

I configured snapshots to handle "homes", e.g. /volume1/homes/ervan. When I ssh to the NAS, it is there, e.g.: syndrive$cd /volume1/homes/#snapshot/GMT-08-2024.11.09-02.00.01/ervan/Photos $ ls [right stuff] But when I bring up browse on the snapshot recovery tool it says "the destination...

I have set up camers to record continues videos, snapshots and smart timelaps. the continues videos are stored in a folder per camera. \surveillance\cam1 the timelaps are in a subfolder with subfolder for each camera. \surveillance\@TimeLapse\cam1 the snapshops are in a subfolder but all...

Hi, So I'm trying to figure out the best way to set something up. I have Nas1 that replicates over to Nas2 (backup). Nas2 isn't connected to the internet, (firewall, access control, app privileges etc.), basically it can only be accessed by one local computer and Nas1). Separate accounts/pass...

Hi, I am trying to work out whether a folder is a snapshot or not on a DS718+ This is the directory: /var/services/homes/admin/New/00008101-00140D121141001E/Snapshot within this directory there are lots of directories like 00 0a ... ff user: admin, group: users (both for Snapshot and its...

I am looking for the most common way to replicate files between two synology's. I know all the ways will work but, there most be pro's/cons and sort of common practice.. right? First "set" of data: Active backup files (from my esx server) Second "set" of data: My own users files. documents...

Hi everyone, I have set up the Snapshot for the Home folder, which is making 'copies’ of all the 3 users I have on the NAS, and this is starting to take quite a lot of space, as one user is saving and deleting files constantly. I would like to set up the Snapshots in a way that I could select...

I've enacted Snapshot on many of the folders I wish to provide insurance on, and I've just found that my SONOS system, which uses a dedicated folder on my NAS for MUSIC FLAC Files is now including the files in the Snapshot as a unintended source and they are appearing on my SONOS APP as Errors...

I'm seeing multiple duplicates of Movies in PLEX... this is a new issue I've not encountered before. All had been fine.... The only changes I made several months ago was to add the SNAPSHOT feature to some folders... Movies being one of them, though I had not checked PLEX immediately afterward...

Remote server snapshot replication setup wizard saying incorrect password. I only have two Synology devices and they are both on 7.2 and both use the same login credentials. Not sure why it's telling me password is invalid on my remote Synology. any ideas? hyper backup works fine.

I'm just getting started using Active Backup for Business (ABB) and I'm confused if I'm protected against Ransomeware. Here's my setup (gonna be brief for simplicity) I have a server (windows 2016), synology A and synology B. I have synology A setup with ABB getting daily backups from the...

Is there a way to hide/show the #snapshot folder in SMB from certain users? Currently the only option I see is in the Snapshot Replication package to make the snapshot folder visible. If you uncheck that, yes it hides the snapshot folder in the smb, however if you want to browse the snapshots...

Our main office has 9.1TB snapshot that I used a 14TB USB drive to move the initial snapshot to our branch office Synology. From main to USB went fine. Took 3 days to get it on there, but all good. Take the USB 3.0 and the 14TB to the branch office. On the Replication section, it shows "Waiting...
