Backup and Restoration
With Hyper Backup, you can back up Synology Drive to local or remote destinations and restore the settings and data of the package to a previous point of time.
Note:
- You need to install Hyper Backup 2.1.0 or above from DSM > Package Center in order to use this service.
- As Synology Office files are managed in Drive, instructions on how to back up and restore the Office package are also included in the sections below.
To back up Drive and Office:
- Go to DSM > Hyper Backup to create a backup task.
- Follow the wizard and select Drive Server and Office when you are prompted to select the applications to be backed up.
- After the backup task has been successfully created, the following data will be backed up:
- Files and folders
- Permission settings of each file and folder
- Labels
- Stars
To restore Drive and Office:
- Go to DSM > Hyper Backup to restore the desired backup task.
- The current settings and data in Drive Server and Office will be overwritten after the restoration is completed.
Note:
- For more information on the above-mentioned operations, please refer to the Help article of Hyper Backup > Data Backup > Create Backup Tasks.
- Synology Office files are stored in the Office database. Therefore, we recommend that you back up/restore Drive Server and Office at the same time. (Synology Office files will not be backed up or restored if you only select the Drive Server package.)
- There must be no less volumes in the restore destination than in the source.
- The personal profile of a deleted user will not be restored.
- The historical versions of regular (non-Synology Office) files cannot be backed up.
