![]() ![]() Via this app, you can locate and restore a file directly to your PC. bkpi files, which are the backup files created by Hyper Backup. Hyper Backup Explorer is a useful tool to browse. A tutorial on file restoral via Hyper Backup Explorer is available here. Synology also provides free Windows and Linux apps called Hyper Backup Explorer that I tried out on a Windows 10 PC. ![]() How ToĮnabling Hyper Backup on a Synology NAS is a five step point-and-click process, illustrated in the gallery below. Networked backup targets are also supported including Synology NASes (with Hyper Backup Vault enabled), remote Rsync server and multiple public clouds including Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure, OpenStack Swift, Rackspace, and others. So after an initial backup, Hyper Backup will back up only the new or changed data to save storage space.įurther, Hyper Backup will save backups on external storage devices directly connected to the NAS via USB or eSATA. To conserve storage space, Hyper Backup uses incremental backup and deduplication. Hyper Backup will maintain up to 65535 backup versions to provide as many recovery points as desired. Synology’s Hyper Backup (previously named Backup & Restore) intelligently backs up your Synology NAS and automates the process. ![]() The screenshot below shows several data backup applications available from Synology’s DSM 6.0. The solution is to back up your NAS, ideally to an external site. Human error, simultaneous loss of multiple disk drives, complete NAS failure or a disaster (fire, flood, theft,…) could wipe out the data stored on your NAS. However, even with the redundancy and data protection mechanisms built into a NAS, you’re still vulnerable to data loss. With multiple hard drives configured in RAID, a NAS provides redundant centralized data storage for backing up data. I'm just trying to benefit from your experience and in doing so, perhaps enlighten the next backer-upper.A key component for data storage is Network Attached Storage (NAS). Also, if you're a user with a similar basic backup need as mine, I'd liked to hear any positive / negative feedback. That said, before I get too far down the backup garden path, I'd rather someone stop me before I start backing up the bigger (music and video) files, if there are some legitimate concerns. I know some of this is likely child's play for many, but I'm just a home user that wants a fairly simple backup that once established, will sync and mirror. and that since your opting to image with a 3rd party application, then you may use it for incremental file back up as well? Is the main reason that these 3rd party applications do a much better job at backing up the actual (in this case Win 7) PC image?. I also get that there are users looking to backup from Synology NAS to another Synology NAS, or desiring the further reassurance of online backup (Crashplan, Amazon glacier, etc.) but why is there a propensity for users to use 3rd party clients like Acronis True Image, AOMEI Backupper, Easeus Todo Backup and others? (.the last of which I still might try). I've disabled versioning and set up my first backup of My Documents which included ebooks. With the exception of the "versioning" issue (if the default is left at 32 versions), does it really work that badly? I guess I might just have to learn the hard way. I thought getting the NAS was the one way to simplify the backup process and have peace of mind (by running RAID 1). While I get that everyone has a unique backup situation (business versus home, critical data, security, etc.), I've read through tons of "backup" posts both here within r/Synology and elsewhere on the net and was amazed at how little positive support there was for the included Cloud Station Backup software. Without delving into all of the other possibilities of a NAS, my priority was backing up files (audiobooks, ebooks, documents, music, photos, video and DAW recordings) from Win 7 64 (Home) and other shared drives to NAS. DSM 6.0 released a few days after I bought it before I really set anything up, so I just updated everything this weekend. I didn't have a lot to spend but I was getting paranoid about eventually losing data and so I recently bought a new DS214. I spent a couple of nights consolidating and organizing folders so that the eventual backup would be more tidy. ![]() I've been wanting to get a more organized backup up solution in place here at home and I admit, I'm new to strategizing how to best go about this. Why do so many Synology users avoid using Cloud Station Backup? ![]()
