I’ve been wrestling with this problem for some time, and now I think I’ll just use a Windows PC to backup the Synology. Is Synology trying to be difficult? One folder?įrom my vantage point, Synology does not provide an adequate backup solution for small business users any more. I created a backup job and it allowed me to choose any user folder on the NAS, but I could only choose 1 and I could not add another job for other folders!? I need to backup about 10 folders. Also, I cannot browse the backup from my Windows based PCs without more software. My USB drive is out of space and I cannot remove anything from the backup file. It can also further crash quicken on return from the backup service crash if the file is still locked. I was using Hyper Backup for this until today. Cloud stations grabs the file (which has been edited) the second it is free, causing the backup service to crash as it cannot open the file.

I want to backup about 10 PCs that use something like Cobian backup to copy data to the single server in a folder for each user. I think it’s a bit misleading, for me anyway. Hyper Backup Vault is an application that let other diskstation’s backup to your diskstation with Hyper Backup. Add a simple text file in your PC, go see in synology the file is going to be there, that is working fine.

To schedule the backup with versions is the preferred solution. Just do a test, sync a local folder to be back up with synology cloud backup, go see in synology the folder is going to be there, that is working fine. It means having at least three total copies of your data, two of which are local but on different mediums (read: devices), and at least one copy off-site. This backup can be scheduled and you can also run in rotation with up to 254 versions. The 3-2-1 backup strategy is simple and time tested. The backup destination can be on the same diskstation (the same or on a different volume) or another diskstation.īackup to another diskstation is, of course, the best solutions and especially if stored at a remote location. You can backup important configuration files, application configuration files and other folders you chose with both compression and client-side encryption if you wish. Cloud Station Drive is a sync application and works similar to Dropbox except the data will be stored on your Diskstation and not on a remote unknown server. This is the primary backup for the diskstation. Hyper Backup – The main Synology backup solutionįirst is the new backup solution named Hyper Backup. I have listed all the backup and sync solutions below and how it works. At first, it can be a bit confusing, but every Synology backup and sync solution have its purpose and its uses. Synology Diskstations with DSM 6 has several ways to do backups.
