Not helpful. You’ll have to abandon your version history.
It’s phenomenal the mental gymnastics people are willing to engage in to protect their sunk cost and to avoid admitting that it’s synology marketing that is very good, nothing else.
Yes, multiple times. I ran backup in a loop and randomly interrupts network few times a minute. Corruption occurs 100% within few hours. I’ve reported this bug (along of many other bugs) to synology and while they workaround a few other bugs (never actually fixed) this one remained unfixed up until I abandoned synology altogether and stopped tracking. I bet you it’s still broken.
You see, you are basing your expectations and perspective on the state of affairs 10 years ago. Then SYnology was a very different company. It was engineering company that was innovative and eager to fix issues. I played along and helped them triage and fix a bunch. Today the picture is different. It’s a marketing money making machine where engineering is treated as a collateral damage. And code quality plummeted further, even though nobody believed that was possible.

Exactly my motivation to have tried synology. I too fell victim of their marketing department and empty promises. Turned out, babysitting it was taking way too much time, and I was becoming a “synology expert” on various forums. The opposite I wanted to acomplish. And then, alternative “just worked”…
IN fact, you are here discussing issues with Synology… soo… That’s quite a lot of effort for “set it an and forget it” appliance. But it’s not your fault, their marketing team is VERY good.
This is marketing speak. IT’s meaningless. NAS is a NAS. How can any software be “optimized” for it? It’s an oxymoron.
You can continue using hyper backup to backup system state. But not your data. Because you shall not trust synology software skills. Because see my posts above.
Oh my. No comments here. You are wrong on every point here. See my posts above.
I spent 2-3 years with synology, Then I threw in a towel and DYI the nas, and haven’t touched it since.
Granted, if you only use the one usecase marketing material describes don’t deviate anywhere, and don’t use 99% of functionality – it will probably work. Because otherwise they would not be able to sell it.
I’m actually telling you to change your storage appliance, let alone backup application. Yes, it’s that bad.
Well, nobody shall be using backblaze. See this: Data Cleanup Plan - Update - #64 by arrogantrabbit
Again, I don’t blame you, but you should not believe marketing and especially when data integrity and reliability is concerned – you shall do what’s right, and not what marketing departments tell you. I have nothing to gain here – but I hate to see you lose data because you believed them and entrusted morons with your data
