Something became apparent after 18 hours of doing a full Hyper Backup 'clone' and rebuild (ext4 to btrfs, and remove an old limit of 16TB volumes) was that not everything is backed up. In the end I powered down the NAS and switched back in the 4TB SHR-1 disks as I've a new NAS on order and I was just trying to jumpstart the migration process.
One other thing I found was: subsequent runnings of (non-1st time) multi-version tasks failed on my ext4 SHR after installing Active Backup for Business and Snapshot Replication. It could have been one, both, or a mere coincidence but these tasks stopped failing once these two packages were removed (and the support Replication Service) were uninstalled. While these packages work with btrfs Storage Pools does that mean a NAS with a primary ext4 RAID and secondary btrfs RAID cannot successfully use Hyper Backup? I tried a few combinations of ignoring packages in the task but nothing helped, and neither did looking in the NAS message logs.
I may retry the rebuild again to see if the one partially successful restore activity was the cause of many of the missing package re-installations and also missing DSM settings ... no firewall, access settings, certificates, and many more. Plus it seems there's a need for a lot of preparation work for Docker migration before shutting down the current build, even if you have mapped data to backed up NAS folders.
I digress, here's a table of the Knowledgebase index and the packages that Hyper Backup's help page says it supports.
'Yes' means the knowledgebase says so; 'NO' means this is a package I've run post-rebuild and my previous settings are missing. A blank probably means it's not supported but I don't run it so can't test it.
Do you have any additions or corrections to this?
