I have a DS1515+ and it has 4 USB ports on the back. Im struggling with backup space on my USB WD 4 TB HD its running out/getting full. Can I plug in other USB HD and using Hyper Backup use another USB HD (up to 4) and save to these as well. So maybe Films etc to one HD and maybe Photos etc to...

Hello, i have a DS1019+ and did my backups in the past with hyperbackup on two Seagate Backup Plus Hub (in the compatibility list of the Disk station listed). I got some IO Errors from hyperbackup (there is another thread on these), but after deleting the backups and formating the Disk the...

Hi everyone. I'm enjoying my new 920+ and other than a few bumps, all has gone pretty well. One of the "tasks" I've wanted to do is move my Plex content from an old Windows box to the 920+. On the existing Windows box, it's all on a WD Easystore 10 TB external disk. In Windows, it shows...

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...

Has anyone tried adding a USB 2.5gigabit ethernet adapter to the RT6600ax? How well did it work and how did you do it?

Hi Guys, I have a Mac mini server, with a thunderbolt storage drive directly connected to it. This drive contains approx 2.5 Tb of data, and is mounted to the mini as a share. This share is live data, that’s accessed most of the time. I plan to copy this data to an external USB HD and then plug...

Has anyone gotten any storage attached to the RT6600ax that works at faster than USB 2 speeds? I thought it was supposed to have a USB 3.1 GEN 2 10gbps port? I can't seem to make it go faster than USB 2 speeds. So first I tried the drives plugged straight into the RT6600ax USB port: The drives...

I've read through a number of posts on various forums about setting up a rotating backup task with HyperBackup. I've got a USB enclosure where I can swap bare disks. I've set up a single version backup task and the task successfully completes to the first disk I've used. I then swapped that out...

subject says it all... are there any usb lan (nic) adapters that work in dsm7 anymore?

I see Best Buy has a good deal on a 14TB WD Easystore USB 3.0 for today's deal of the day and it got me thinking. It seems pretty cheap for 14TB of storage. My current Synology DS218 only has 4TB, and is getting a little fuller all the time with photos and videos. Is it worth adding something...

Occasionally I get asked if I can recover data from failing portable hard disks, but as a Mac user, I'm finding data recovery tools are somewhat lacking for Apple Silicon and current MacOS. I was wondering if there was something that may run on the NAS akin to ddrescue on Linux, or any disc...

Moving from my DS218+ to DS220+ and noticed (surprise!) that the DS220+ has only one rear USB port. On my DS218+ I had an external USB drive and a UPS connected to the two USB ports on the back of the drive. Since there is only one port on the rear of the DS220+, will it work if I plug in the...

Hello, I would like to back up the data from one Synology to another one using a USB 3 cable. Is that possible? I'm unable to HyberBackup to both machines on the same network, so I'm desperate to backup the data somehow. Thank you in advance.

Hi all, Which type for an external USB DISK do you prefer a 2,5 inch or 3,5 inch for Backup purposes. What are the pro and cons of when it comes to use one of these types for backup of the NAS?

I was disappointed to discover, at the moment I intended to use the feature, that secure erase is not available for hard drives connected by USB. DSM only offers file system-level access to external media. In principle, one might imagine working around the design limitations in DSM if a VM were...

Hi Everyone, I have to restore a windows 2012 R2 server. I checked my configuration with Synology support and they sent me a link to the restore media creator that fix raid issues. My server is configured with raid 1. This is the version I'm supposed to use : Restore Media...

I connect a portable USB drive to the front USB port of my DS920+ for backups and file transfers. When I'm done , I want to eject/disconnect the drive, but can't find where in DSM I can issue the eject command. So, I end up having to shutdown the NAS first, disconnect the portable drive, then...

On DSM6.2 several of My USBdisks where nicely mounted. DSM7 refuses to mount these. Disks where formatted in NTFS or ext4. However a large USBstick formatted in exfat, and a small USBstick formatted in NTFS mounted perfectly. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

I've just done a lot of transferring of data from my (previous NAS backed up) USB drive to my new NAS, directly using USB Copy package in both instances. I rather stupidly selected 'Mirroring Mode' to realise that if I delete something on one side it will delete it in the other (I know) So my...

Good afternoon. I am conducting an investigation into a Synology NAS. Specifically, I was asked to collect information regarding USB devices connected to the NAS. I only have a forensic image of the NAS and so cannot boot the NAS. I found on the SYNOSYSDB that an external disk (USB Disk 1)...
