What is the most often situation that you need to restore a file from #backup? For me, accidental changes.
I opened an older file and completely forgot to rename/duplicate it before I started editing. After 2h, I saved the changes under a new file name, but the original was already changed due to autosave.
#Synology #ActiveBackupForBusiness to the rescue! ABB restored the file back onto my scratch drive in seconds.
It's not a question of "if", but "when" will you need it!
#selfhosting
Kleine Warnung an alle die #Synology #abb Software unter #zorinos 17 nutzen und auf 18 upgraden wollen. Das endet in einem Kernel Panic!!!
ABB ist aktuell nur bis kernel 6.8 freigegeben. Ihr müsst entweder ABB vorher deinstallieren, oder (lange?) warten bis Synology in die Pötte kommt und endlich 6.17x unterstützt. Immer das gleiche, ABB unter linux ist echt die Seuche.. :-(
It’s always nice to see production data making it safe to the other side with no interruption of services or customer issues.
On to the next migration!
#Synology #ActiveBackupForBusiness #SnapshotReplication #homelab #selfhosting #selfhosted #grafana
#Synology volume migration continues. Today, about 3TB+ in total of #ActiveBackupForBusiness storage "folders".
Using #SnapshotReplication to do it by the book instead of volume migration. Worked well so far with other ABB storage folders.
True and tested... 🐢
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... -.-"
#NoBackupNoMercy
#Synology #HyperBackup #SnapshotReplication #ActiveBackupForBusiness
#Synology #ActiveBackupForBusiness working just fine with the latest #macOS 26.1 #Tahoe beta 4.
The "tinted" fix makes this version much more tolerable, while those corners are still ticking my OCD to high heaven! 🫨
Migrating #Synology #ActiveBackupForBusiness volumes from one #NAS to the other. Time to start using the latest #ABB version, and prepare the old RS machine for decommissioning.
#snapshot #replication #backup #selfhosting #selfhosted #homelab
So far, nothing is broken in terms of functionality. All Syno apps work just fine and the ABB backup completed with no issues at all in about 8min as an incremental version.
#Synology #ActiveBackupForBusiness #macOS26 #Tahoe #apple #macmini #m4pro #backup #selfhost #selfhosted #homelab #macos
Will #Synology #ActiveBackupForBusiness work with the current #macOS26 #Tahoe version? Let's find out!
#apple #macmini #m4pro #backup #selfhost #selfhosted #homelab #macos
@nfgusedautoparts Another vote for #synology. On top of its support for TM, certain models support their #ActiveBackupForBusiness package that will allow for a great backup alternative in case TM is something you are trying also to move away from.
Testing some more concurrent operations on the new #Synology #DS925+ as part of the upcoming #review
Dual #ActiveBackupForBusiness remote #windows11 machines (testing the #deduplication in the process), along a simple file copy onto an external #USB #SSD #OWC enclosure.
(yes 3rd party external drives work just fine!)
The NAS is nice and calm with no performance issues at all.
#Apple #macos and #ios patch time... The new 15.4.1 version works fine with #Synology #ActiveBackupForBusiness
Why does #Synology #ActiveBackupForBusiness has both "restore" and “download" options using the Recovery Portal, but #ActiveProtectManager only has the latter?
Simply asking for “xxxx space" on the device accessing the Recovery portal so that it could be than transferred back to the original location makes no sense.
More over, using the Portal with #M365 content has the option to directly restore content. 🤔.
Also "search=filter” is super misleading. Works with M365 but not the local content.
What’s the point of a second machine if not for testing! #apple #macos #sequioa 15.4 developer beta.
Mainly interested in:
- #apple #mail on the Mac
- support and working of #Synology #ActiveBackupForBusiness
With #macOS 15.3 beta 3, ABB works again. Testing now with 15.3 release candidate version as well.
#Synology #ActiveBackupForBusiness #Apple #macOS #ABB #MacMiniM4Pro #Backup #10G
Test complete!
#Synology #ActiveBackupForBusiness #Apple #macOS #ABB #MacMiniM4Pro #Backup #10G
Sunday #Apple #macOS #DisasterRecovery testing with #Synology #ActiveBackupForBusiness in progress.
