help Synology Hyper Backup FAQ
What can Synology Hyper Backup back up to?
Hyper Backup can back up a Synology NAS to local folders, external USB drives, another Synology NAS, rsync servers, and cloud services. Common cloud targets include Backblaze B2, Amazon S3-compatible storage, Google Drive, and Synology C2.
Does Hyper Backup keep old file versions?
Yes, Hyper Backup supports versioned backups, so you can restore earlier versions instead of only the latest copy. This is useful after accidental deletion, ransomware, or a bad file overwrite.
How is Hyper Backup different from Snapshot Replication?
Hyper Backup is for backup jobs to another destination, often with versioning and deduplication. Snapshot Replication is more about fast local or replicated snapshots on supported Btrfs volumes.
Can Hyper Backup restore to a different Synology NAS?
Yes, Hyper Backup Explorer and the Hyper Backup package can be used to browse and restore backup data on another Synology system. This matters if the original NAS fails and you need to recover folders, packages, or settings.
