LUN Backup*

Hyper Backup allows you to perform LUN (Logical Unit Number) backup to a local or remote Synology NAS. For more information on creating an iSCSI LUN and its functionality, please refer to this article or the help article of iSCSI Manager.

To back up an iSCSI LUN:

  1. Click + on the bottom left corner and select LUN backup task.
  2. When you are prompted to choose a destination type, choose either of the following:
  3. When prompted, specify the backup destination and source LUN, and set the backup schedule.
  4. Follow the wizard to complete the setup.

After the backup task is created, the Synology NAS will perform the backup task according to the schedule and store the backed up LUN at the destination. The backed up LUN is used for backup purpose only. To access the backup LUN, see To restore the backup LUN for more information.

Note:

About Full Backup and Incremental Backup:

Synology NAS will perform a full backup of the selected LUN for the first time and then perform incremental backup. However, if the name of the shared folder or directory on the backup destination is changed, Synology NAS will perform a full backup for the task again.
