Synology Hyper Backup
Synology DSM ships with Hyper Backup, which supports any S3-compatible target as a backup destination.
Configure Hyper Backup
- Open Hyper Backup on your Synology.
- + → Data backup task.
- Pick S3 Storage as the destination.
- Configure:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| S3 Server | Custom Server URL |
| Server address | s3.filebase.io |
| Signature version | v4 |
| Region | auto |
| Bucket name | Your Filebase bucket |
| Directory | (an optional prefix) |
| Access Key | Your Filebase access key |
| Secret Key | Your Filebase secret key |
- Choose folders and apps to back up.
- Configure Backup rotation — Hyper Backup uses Smart Recycle by default, which retains hourly/daily/weekly/monthly versions automatically.
- Set client-side encryption with a strong passphrase.
- Run the first backup.
Restore
Open Hyper Backup on the same Synology (or a new one) → Restore → connect to the Filebase backup → pick a snapshot and the files/folders to restore.
Cloud Sync as an alternative
If you want continuous sync rather than scheduled backups, Cloud Sync is the right tool:
- Open Cloud Sync on Synology.
- + → S3 Storage.
- Same connection settings as above.
- Pick a local folder and a Filebase prefix to keep in sync.
Cloud Sync is one-way (or two-way) sync; Hyper Backup keeps versioned snapshots. Choose based on whether you want point-in-time restore.
