![]() ![]() Sync means to replicate folder (s) and maintain the original structure, ensuring the target and source directories have identical files. On today’s blog post I want to talk about backing up your synology.What are the benefits of Synology real time sync There are a lot of ways to do it, but as free services become paid services, things get more complicated. In today’s blog post I am going to show you how I back up my synology. Also, as they holidays are getting close, It might give you an idea for a present for you or a loved one □ Back-up methods for Synology It might not be the best way if you are on a low budget, but it works as a charm for me. You can access the hyper back up service from the Menu, if you have it installed: In an early post I describe my previous back up plan, as well as how to back up your synology to an external drive with Hyper Backup or to a cloud service like Azure.īut i have a better way to do it today, and after all the questions I have received on the comments, I though it would be best to share it with all of you.Īs you probably are aware, Synology has changed the back up services to a service they called hyperbackup.The old backup button called “Backup and Restore” has been replaced by “Hyper Backup”.Click on the plus button at the lower left hand corner and click on ” Data back up task”: Click on it:Īnd you will see they new backup possibilities:Ĥ. I have showed you on a previous blog post how to back up to an external drive with Hyper Backup and to Azure.Īnd that is the way I did it, but when my USB backup disk died, I gave it a proper burial and never looked back. I am doing it differently now and it is the best change i ever did on the synology. I have a Synology DS713+ and I love that little machine. I have countless of times talked to my father about it and showed him to (he is tech nerd as me) and I always wanted to give him a synology as a present. When my USB backup disk died, that is when I thought of it. I can buy a Synology for my backups and put it my fathers house, so I have my own external cloud backup and he has a machine to play with. So said and done, I bought it, configured it and put it in his house.Īs the Synology is a newer model, I made sure to install the disk with a Btrfs format and I then could have Replication on the backup. You have no idea how many times the replication function has saved me from big disasters….like deleting all the content on my synology….(a story for another day). I will talk about replication in another post, promise. So, it doesn’t come cheap, but it is by far the best method to backup your files,specially if you can place it in somebody else’s house. So how do I did it? Back up to another SynologyĪnd this is my secret: cloud station ShareSync combined with replication is the best backup system I can think of. Here is how it works, cloud station ShareSync, syncs the folders between my two NAS and the replication makes hourly, daily, weekly, quarterly and yearly copies of it. You might be wondering why I dont have replication in the synology i have at home. I am going to that very soon and I will let you know how it went as soon as I am ready □ The setup Well, the disk format is wrong…so I need to reformat my drives before I can activate replication in the DS713+. Ok, back to business, lets set up the cloud station ShareSync. To do that, you only need to configure the remote synology.įirst, install the app cloud station ShareSync from the package center. I dont remember if you needed the cloud station server too. ![]() I am guessing, you do, but check without and install it if it doesnt work. ![]() Two way sync: both synologies can write files on both home and remote synology.Select the folder you want to sync and click on the tool: You synology name: or quickconnect name.Now, you need to configure the connection to your home synology. ![]()
