Synology Hyper Backup

Synology Hyper Backup is a simple backup program that comes with Synology NAS devices to protect all your important files and photos. It automatically makes safe copies of your data on a schedule so you can recover everything if your NAS crashes, gets hacked, or a file gets accidentally deleted. It keeps multiple versions of your files so you can go back to an older copy from last week or last month. The tool uses S3-compatible object storage as a very affordable and reliable off-site vault in the cloud, sending only the changed parts of files to save time and money. This combination gives you peace of mind by keeping an extra copy far away from your home or office while keeping costs low and recovery easy.

Troubleshooting Tips
  • • Ensure you selected Custom server and not a predefined provider
  • • Verify the endpoint does not contain a trailing slash
  • • Confirm your bucket name is correctly entered without the endpoint
  • • If connection fails, try setting Region to us-east-1
  • • Check that your Access Key and Secret Key are copied correctly (no extra spaces)
