While I get that everyone has a unique backup situation (business versus home, critical data, security, etc.), I've read through tons of "backup" posts both here within r/Synology and elsewhere on the net and was amazed at how little positive support there was for the included Cloud Station Backup software. Without delving into all of the other possibilities of a NAS, my priority was backing up files (audiobooks, ebooks, documents, music, photos, video and DAW recordings) from Win 7 64 (Home) and other shared drives to NAS. DSM 6.0 released a few days after I bought it before I really set anything up, so I just updated everything this weekend. I didn't have a lot to spend but I was getting paranoid about eventually losing data and so I recently bought a new DS214. I spent a couple of nights consolidating and organizing folders so that the eventual backup would be more tidy.

I've been wanting to get a more organized backup up solution in place here at home and I admit, I'm new to strategizing how to best go about this. You can go back into the same window to verify the change.Why do so many Synology users avoid using Cloud Station Backup? Pick the account you want to own the backup job, tick “Apply to this folder, sub-folders and files” and click “OK”.ĭepending on the size of the job, it might take a while for it to reset everything but once finished, you will have successfully changed the owner of that job and fixed the issue. Step 4: In the resulting window, you will see the “Owner” setting with a drop-down menu. Step 3: Right-click on the job folder and on the resulting context menu, click on “Properties” That will result in a “File Station” window, showing the job’s “hbk” folder listed. Step 2: Click on the backup job you want to fix in the right-hand pane. Step 1: Open “Hyper Backup Vault” on the target Synology appliance and click on “All Task” in the left-hand pane. Remember: All these steps need to be carried out on the “target” Synology appliance – and therefore, in “Hyper Backup Vault”: As the steps might not be immediately obvious to a new user, I have detailed the exact step-by-step process here which I hope will help. So, I started to investigate the target Synology appliance where I found the solution to this issue. Given I couldn’t see any setting that allowed me to change the ownership of the job, it resulted in a bit of head-scratching,

Now, I wasn’t expecting that because I had already changed the username and password in the “Target” settings for the job. (Only the owner of this backup task is allowed to perform backup.) Going to the “Detailed log” displayed the following error message:įailed to access the backup destination. In my case, my backup jobs (Hyper Backup) to another Synology appliance started failing: However, depending on what you’re already using that account for, you could see a side-effect of it. It’s a 5-minute job and I would highly recommend you do so if you haven’t already. Doing so eliminates one of the attack vectors as the default admin account is known and commonly used in brute force attacks.

That is accompanied by a recommendation to create another equivalent account, log in using that account and disable the admin account. Recently, Synology added a new check to “Security Advisor” that would generate a warning if it found the default “admin” account still enabled.
