For the USB backup utility: If we leave the USB drive plugged in for a few days during a minor multi user / multi document / multi folder project, at the house here. ... is it just as simple as leave the: 'copy data whenever the USB/SD storage is plugged in' and 'eject the USB/SD storage device when copy completes' options OFF ... because the USB drive will stay plugged in ... and just activate the third option 'enable schedule'? The idea being that as we do the work done live using the NAS, it will once a day save a security backup to the USB drive during the project. I dont want to plug in, unplug the USB backup drive to facilitate the safety backup while the project is running.
After watching your videos I have upgraded to a Synology DS1621+. My old NAS (Zyxel NSA325) backs up to an attached USB3 external drive. I'm looking for the fastest way to copy data to my new DS1621+. I'm guessing that connecting the USB3 drive directly to the DS1621+ would be faster than via a network connection between the old and the new NAS's. I have connected the USB3 external drive to the DS1621+ and can see the folder structure in DSM File Station. What is the fastest way to copy the data across? Many thanks.
FASTASTIC video as always! If you allow me one question please In the min 10:54 when you talked about backup the main NAS to a second NAS using Hyperbackup, you talked about doing it in the morning when the NAS is less use If i run the backup let say at 3am, my pc will be "sleeping". Will Hyperbackup work even though the pc is "sleeping"? Thanks in advance Have a Productive and Healthy Day!
Video suggestion: On nearly every HyperBackup video I see people say "oh and here you can tick if you want these applications backed up too", but nowhere they give any details to, what it actually does, what is saved, what is not and demonstrate a restore of these settings. One particular question I have is, what if I choose to back up Synology Drive package and restore possibly to a different NAS when the old one broke. What will happen to the users? The rights? How does that work. Or on Moments, all the work in naming the person folders the AI compiled (and clicking away the random people that got in your shot). Is that saved and restored?
When I open Snapshot Replication app on DS7, it warns me that my volume is recording 'last file access time', and this may affect snapshot performance. It tells me I can disable this by going into Storage Manager, but that setting is nowhere to be seen. Any ideas?
That's DSM 7? I don't see S3 as a target in the Hyperbackup lineup. That's a deal breaker for me upgrading to 7. I backup to an S3 compatible storage provider. Anyone knows if that option is there?
Hey there @NASCompares, great video as always! I just purchased a Synology Nas DS1821+ and would like to add expansion units with 16tb drives in each bay for my expansive media collection of music and movies. My intended use is to be able to remotely stream my content wherever, which contains 4k content also. Which reliable 16TB HDDs would you recommend that will last with this demand? Been considering WD Gold, Red Pro and Iron Wolf Pro?
Any idea why my #snapshots and #recycle folders (and all sub folders and files) have the red circle with white line (do not enter sign) on the icons? This only appears in my “photo” shared folder, no other shared folders have this and the permissions and owners are setup the same. Everything seems to be working fine including syncing and restoring deleted files from snapshots.

This is exactly what I do. Works great!

Thanks! If Snapshots just versions on the NAS drive itself, why bother? Why not just use Hyperbackup with versions instead of snapshots?
FWIW I desperately need a QNAP version of this video!
Wasn't it impossible to use snapshots on encrypted shares ? Is that a new features of DSM 7 ?

Great! I am getting there after a while thank you!

Is it a good idea to encrypt the homes folder after it’s been used? It has around 1.7 TB of data

Unsure, perhaps it is to denote that these directories cannot be shared? I'm guessing here though
I'm going to set my Synology to Backup itself and go make a cheese platter!
There are 2 kinds of people in the world - both kinds like cheese!
*smashes like button so hard, that the screen cracks*
Cheese 😊
This video is old... but I STILL occasionally find this cheese picture in my storage environment. I backed it up TOO good...
@@nascompares Maybe old. But helped me anyway. Thanks for your videos...
HEHEEH, Yes, We absolutely Like chess.
