Create Backup Tasks

Hyper Backup allows you to create/manage/monitor 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 NAS 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:

To check backup statistics:

You can track changes in volume usage and data quantity of each backup task, and check them against customized alert thresholds. Once abnormalities are found, you will instantly receive alert notifications.

  1. Select a desired backup task on the left panel.
  2. Click Backup Statistics (the bar chart icon) to get more information about its backup versions:
  3. To change the time range of the line chart, select Month or Year on the top-right corner.
  4. To save the customized alert thresholds, click Apply.

Note:

To manage a suspended backup task:

After you manually suspend a backup task, Hyper Backup will stop backing up the data in this task, and the backup versions generated previously will become undeletable. If you suspend a backup task during the creation of a backup version, this particular version will be incomplete.
