I really think that Restic in a container is a superior solution compared to hyper backup so far, since you don't have to rely on the developer roadmap of Synology to guarantee the backend support you want to see will be added at some point in the future. It runs beautifully, I like working with it, and it feels like a really sustainable solution to the problem.Īs long as the solution proves sustainable and stable, I was going to do a write up for other Synology users to follow. I wrote a docker container that is geared toward using Backblaze B2 as the backend, and then a cron task to run every night to backup the mounted volumes (in this case folders on my Synology). I was using google drive with hyperbackup, but I was not using the entire 1TB a month, and it's more than I wanted to pay - B2 just seems like the right solution (for me) to doing prosumer backups. I was motivated to do this because I do not expect Synology will ever write B2 support into HyperBackup, and I actually prefer an open source solution like Restic since it is easier to restore the snapshots to any computer without proprietary tools. I have been able to able to get 'hyperdrive' like functionality via restic ( ) in a docker container running on my Synology unit for about a week now. (When I figure out how to anonymously share document from iCloud I'l post the link to up to date spreadsheet.) Here is a handy, if a bit outdated (as of Aug 2018), cost comparison I would also stay away from anything with "unlimited" in the name, because such thing cannot exits without draconian limitations. I would recommend S3-compatible services - such as Wasabi or Amazon S3 (more expensive) or others. The problem is not limited to HyperBackup - other software such as duplicacy experiences the same issues. You need to evaluate your needs - how much data are you going to store mostly - and chose provider accordingly and then test extensively.įrom personal experience - avoid Google Drive, One Drive and DropBox - due to API limitations and throttling the restore often times out since object enumeration takes forever (intentionally throttled). There is minimum 1TB charge and 90 days minimum storage. Wasabi however provides storage at the same price per TB and no egress fee, or cheaper than that but with egress fee. Backblaze is not supported (yet) by HyperBackup.
