Okay a question guys. At the moment I have two Hyper Backup tasks, one backing up to a local 8Tb Seagate backup drive and a second backing up to Synology C2. On the 8Tb backup job I backup most of the content on the NAS, including packages etc. The C2 backup (encrypted) is used to backup less content due to the 1Tb content limit and also the poor broadband I'm suffering - my upload speed is around 7-8 megs.
So to the questions:
1) I'm looking to add my ebook collection to the C2 backup but that is many Gb of books and that'd take a long time to upload. The other issue is that part of the directory tree has within it more than 1000 folders within so I can't use the folder browser in Hyper Backup to only select parts of the collection to do it in stages. If I threw the entire collection in there en-mass I'm presuming the C2 backup job would go on for ever until it was completed and block the other backup job? Any suggestions for getting around this? I can't see a solution.
2) Backup scheduling - I'm finding that C2 backup jobs sometimes fail as the 'destination is busy' which is when they are reconciling the backed up data and in effect pruning snapshots. Synology support advised that I reduced the backup frequency and change the retention policy. I was running the backups every hour, I'n now running every 4 hours. The question here is there any recommended interval?
Thanks as always for any thoughts.
