For Synology NAS devices, we have dedicated AhsayOBM agents for directly installation on the NAS devices to backup files with the NAS. The special backup agent provides a comprehensive backup solution for backing up file(s) and folder(s) on Synology NAS machine to a wide variety of backup destinations (major cloud storage service providers, FTP/SFTP, local drive, etc.) of your choice.
Below is the system architecture diagram illustrating the major elements involved in the backup process among the backup machine, AhsayOBM on Synology and AhsayCBS.
For the list of Synology NAS models, DiskStation Manager (DSM) version and hardware requirement, refer to: Ahsay Hardware Requirement List for AhsayOBM on Synology NAS
For the list of compatible operating systems, refer to: Ahsay Software Compatibility List (SCL)
For the list of compatible operating system for OpenDirect and Granular Restore, refer to: Ahsay Software Compatibility List (SCL) for Granular and OpenDirect Restore
The latest version of AhsayOBM must be installed on the Synology NAS.
The NAS-Synology add-on module is enabled in your AhsayOBM user account to cover the backup of your Synology NAS devices. The NAS-Synology add-on module supports the backup of an unlimited number of devices per AhsayOBM user account.
In v8 the Oracle Java JDK files are already included and deployed as part of the AhsayOBM installation.
The default Java heap size of AhsayOBM installation on Synology NAS is 256 MB. It is recommended that 1 GB RAM or more is installed for stability and better backup / restore performance.
The Synology NAS user account used for the AhsayOBM installation and application must be a member of “administrators” user group.
