Hi!
I love how and what ABB does, great stuff for backing up ESXi VMs in my case!
I want an extra backup of ABB files to a thirdparty NAS and the best would be if my Synology NAS wouldn't even know about me taking these backups (so it will not have access to the thirdparty NAS). I am thinking about an rsync or scp script driven from the thirdparty NAS and sucking down the /volume1/ActiveBackupforBusiness/@ActiveBackup folder and that's about it.
Of course in case of a problem with my Synology NAS, I am aware that I may need to get a fresh Synology NAS and upload the /volume1/ActiveBackupforBusiness/@ActiveBackup folder from the thirdparty NAS and somehow relink it, but that is fine with me, if this is doable and I can get my VMs back.
What do you think? Is this a good strategy? Am I missing something here? Will it be easy to relink the restored /volume1/ActiveBackupforBusiness/@ActiveBackup folder if it is a completely new and empty Synology NAS configuration? Can I be 100% sure that my VMs can be restored this way?
Also there is a "/volume1/@ActiveBackup" folder too. I don't need this, only the "/volume1/ActiveBackupforBusiness/@ActiveBackup" folder, right?
Thanks,
Daniel
