Create Backup Tasks

Hyper Backup allows you to create and manage data backup tasks, and export backup data to external storage devices.

To create a data backup task:

  1. Click + on the bottom left corner, and select Data backup task to launch the Backup Wizard.
  2. Select the desired type of backup destination.
  3. Set up the desired type of your backup task:
  4. Follow the wizard's instructions to finish the settings.

Note:

To export backup data to public clouds or remote Synology NAS:

When backing up a large amount of data to a public cloud, you are recommended to export the initial version to an external storage device (e.g. a USB drive) and deliver the device to the cloud service provider. There the device can get connected and upload data directly to the cloud. In this way, you can significantly reduce the time for the first backup.

  1. Click + on the bottom left corner, and select Remote Synology NAS or the desired cloud service provider.
  2. Select Export to a local shared folder (including an external storage device), and finish the settings.
  3. Deliver the external storage device to the remote Synology NAS or cloud service provider. Import the exported data from the external storage device.
  4. Once confirmed, return to Hyper Backup, and click Relink now.
  5. Follow the Relinking Wizard's instructions to link your Synology NVR to the repository.

To manage backup tasks:

After the backup task is created, select a desired backup task on the left panel, and click the buttons below for corresponding management:

Note:

Modifying or deleting files directly in a backup destination does corrupt stored backup data and cause unexpected behavior.
