Synology Drive Client and multiple Backup Tasks

[SmallTownUSA]

Good Morning,
I have a question regarding the use of multiple (different) backup tasks when using Synology Drive Client (SDC) on my PC and Synology Drive Server on my DS218+. I currently have SDC configured to backup a number of different folders on my PC to my DS220+. I have the backup mode set to continuous. This is working great.

I recently decided to change the backup task to backup (again continuously) a different set of folders to the DS220+. This also worked great. I checked the DS220+ and both sets of folders were indeed on the server.

Now the problem appears.
(1). I would like to be able to backup continuously both sets of folders at the same time. This does not seem possible (is the true or am I doing something wrong)?
(2). Since I can not do (1) above, I decided to "redo" the first backup task since some of the files in the original folder set had changed. While this task also worked, I noticed that all the folders in the original set were completely rebuilt. Is this normal? Is there any way to prevent this complete rebuilding of the folders on the DS220+? If not, this is too time-consuming.
(3). Assuming (1) and (2) are not possible, can you recommend another (program/process) to achieve what I want to do?
Thanks,
Harold

keep in your computer only necessary OS and Program files. All others data keep only in the NAS. Map the SMB Shared folders to your computer. Then you don’t need spend a time with the “backup”which is really complicated.
You will get few interesting advantages:
- no need TBs store in your computer
- just data necessary for a remote jobs (when it’s necessary).
Prepare better backup plan based on S/R package plus AB4B and make your life easier.

Jeyare,
Many thanks for the response. I will look into configuring my system the way you suggest.

I will look into configuring my system the way you suggest.

While you devise that system, be certain to include an off-NAS backup for files you cannot afford to lose.
