#hyperbackup — Public Fediverse posts

Today's Useless Error Message of the Day™ is brought to you by Synology who should know better. From their Hyper Backup app: "Failed to backup applications."

That's it. I have to guess which app and why. It turns out that I removed the VPN app yesterday, which Hyper Backup knew when I checked what it was backing up. It told me VPN was invalid. So WTF didn't it put that important piece of information in the logs?!

Man some major companies sure hire lazy programmers.

Had to ditch VersityGW and go back to Garage to get my Dad's Synology NAS to use it as a S3 backup target.

It would auth and find the bucket, but not move on from there.

Luckily I was planning to use Garage on the real remote target, but was trying out VersityGW on my "Snowball"

Es gibt aber eine REST-Api für kDrive auf die man Zugriff hat. Also kurzerhand einen WebDAV Wrapper dafür gemacht mit Multi-Tenancy-Support (für die anderen Konten der Familie) und in einen LXC im Heimnetz gepackt. Jetzt können #Synology #CloudSync und #HyperBackup per #WebDAV mit kDrive reden.

Falls das jemandem weiterhilft, hier die Links:

@Diogenes #HyperBackup is awesome! Depending on the size of the backup, and the NAS model it could take time, but it will do the job.

@tsherrygeo Manually via #HyperBackup, or not at all via any Syno package? Also, "Synology backup" means data on your NAS, or you want to backup "some" data onto the NAS itself?

Default HyperBackup with its GFS versioning should work out of the box with no issues. So the question really is what is your exact current setup that makes the backup not the most stable one?

#Synology's #HyperBackup: "We got an I/O error on one file so we're going to abandon the entire backup and leave your data unprotected. You're welcome."

Can't recall last time I needed a #backup restore but I guess working late has its consequences.

Editing files directly from the source is always a bad scenario and I avoid it, hence why I use a scratch drive.

But I managed to overwrite one file from the source by accident.

That feeling when you don't panic because you have a backup and you just say to yourself, "you idiot... -.-"

In case you thought Arq Backup had useless error messages, I bring you today's example from Synology Hyper Backup 4. There is no indication what caused this or what I'm supposed to do about it, therefore useless.

Managed to utilize #Synology #BeeStation as a fully working #HyperBackup destination for another #Synology #DSM #NAS (article on blackvoid.club soon)

Now it makes more sense to get one in case cheap J models get the axe. As a second or 3rd #backup destination it can become a valuable asset.

Restore per file or reconstruction of the entire HBK archive works (including multi-version one) with no issues.

P.S. 24h till the #BLACKFRIDAY2024 #giveaway starts ;). The prize? 4TB #BeeStation

#Synology data migration for a client in progress...

New #DS1522plus with #NVMe usable volume, and 5x #HAT3300 for the “slow" storage space.

Trusty #DS414 will become a backup remote unit.

#HyperBackup with #rsync (single-file) will provide the fastest network transfer with the security of all data copied correctly.

This is weird. My #Synology #NAS uses #HyperBackup to a remote Synology NAS. Sometimes there are connection issues and I just retry. But for the last two days no luck.

Weird thing is the moment I try to do a backup it says it can't connect. But when I do an integrity check that runs fine. Only way to do that if it can actually connect to the remote NAS.

Network hasn't changed on either ends. Anyone got a clue what could be the cause of this? The logging doesn't say anything else but con error.

Dieselbe .lrcat (1,45 GB), die am Mac in 17 Minuten geladen wurde ( #MountainDuck #HyperBackupExplorer) habe ich jetzt mal direkt an der #Synology mit #HyperBackup zurück geholt:
- Unter 2 Minuten

Dieselbe Datei …

Also liegt es entweder am HyperBackupExplorer oder daran, dass MountainDuck Laufwerke über SFTP nicht sehr schnell bedient…? Direkt am Mac mit cmd+k und https - also WebDAV - war es ja noch langsamer.

Merkwürdig 🤔

Mit #MountainDuck die #StorageBox als sftp im Finder zur Verfügung gestellt:
- Ein .lrcat (ca 1,46 GB) in ca. 2 Minuten zurück gesichert
- Ein anderer .lrcat (1,45 GB) in ca. 17 Minuten geladen

In beiden Fällen zeigte FritzBox gut ausgelasteten Download fast durchgängig an.

#Synology #HyperBackup Vermutlich beim Restore prinzipbedingt langsam und schwankend weil Dateien versioniert in vielen kleinen Dateiblöcken verwaltet werden?! Verschlüsselung kommt noch dazu

1,82 TB sind nun fertig hochgeladen. Vom 17.03. - 22.03.2024 lief der Upload (soweit ich Stichproben machen konnte) mit meiner vollen Leistung (ca. 40 MBit/s) durch.

Synology/Hyperbackup hat dabei irgendeinen „Trick“ geschafft, dass trotz kompletter Upload-Sättigung TV/Video-Streaming und sogar Video-Meetings sowie eine Happyshooting Video/Audio-Stream-Aufnahme problemlos möglich waren.

Nächstes Update heute Nacht; Restore-Test steht noch aus… #hetzner #StorageBox #HyperBackup #Synology

na, dann versuche ich mal so eine #StorageBox von #Hetzner … mit rsync soll ein #HyperBackup von #Synology aus möglich sein und über SMB Anbindung soll man mit dem HyperBackupExplorer direkt zugreifen können für einen Restore.

5 TB StorageBox kosten vergleichbar viel wie meine knapp über 1,8 TB derzeit bei Wasabi … #Wasabi hat vor Kurzem die Preise deutlich angehoben und daher… Mehr Platz fürs gleiche Geld UND eine Rechnung in Euro mit Mwst… ich bin gespannt

Nightly backup was running fine. 20mins for incrementally backing up 460 GB.

I will migrate Arqbackups over to Hetzner and give it all a try for a week before deleting the Wasabi buckets.

- 5 hours
- 460 GB encrypted, compressed

As expected, the #Synology #DSM version did not downgrade with #HyperBackup bare metal process.

The restore was successful, but several default apps are currently stuck because they are from the actual backup archive and not compatible with the new DSM 7.2.1. Manual update of each package resolved the issue.

All in all, bare metal restore will work fine in all cases but Synology still doesn’t offer DSM downgrade via this method!

Testing #Synology #HyperBackup bare metal restore after the #DSM72 7.2.1 upgrade. Lets see if the OS will be downgraded to 7.2.0 as indicated in the summary.

The only issue is that this process is soooooo slow compared to #ActiveBackupForBusiness, so it will take about 1-2h for it to complete. Let's see what will happen.

My money is that it will be 7.2.1 (no DSM downgrade) with data from the actual backup archive.
