1. Launch Snapshot Replication.
2. Go to Replication > Shared Folder > Create.
3. Select Remote.
4. Enter the credentials of the destination Synology NAS.
5. Select the destination volume to replicate data to.
6. Select the shared folder containing the Active Backup for Business data. In this example, the Active Backup for Business data is stored in "ActiveBackupforBusiness".



7. Follow the wizard to complete the setup.

If you have an SSD cache, you can do the following to enhance replication performance:

1. Go to Storage Manager > Storage.
2. Select the SSD cache and click the ⋯ more icon.
3. Pin all Btrfs metadata to the SSD cache

When an IT disaster occurs, data and task settings can be recovered on the destination NAS, and Active Backup for Business services will quickly resume.

On the original destination Synology NAS:

1. Install Active Backup for Business if you haven't already.
2. Go to Snapshot Replication > Recovery. Select the replicated shared folder containing the Active Backup for Business data.
3. Click Action > Failover and select the snapshot version to restore.
4. Click Failover.
5. Go to Active Backup for Business > Storage and click Relink.
6. Select the shared folder containing the Active Backup for Business data to recover and click Relink.
7. Your Synology NAS can now resume regular operations.⁴

Once you've set up a replication task, you can simulate an IT disaster by doing the following:

1. In Snapshot Replication > Recovery, select the replicated shared folder for Active Backup for Business.
2. Click Action > Test Failover.
3. Select the Test Server if there are multiple replication tasks for the shared folder.
4. Name the Test Failover for the shared folder and select a snapshot version to test.
5. Click Test Failover to start the simulation.
6. Go to Active Backup for Business > Storage and click Relink.
7. Select the test failover shared folder and click Relink.

During failover, data replication between the original source and destination will pause. Once the original source NAS is recovered, we suggest creating a new replication task to sync any changes made during the disaster.

1. Go to Snapshot Replication > Recovery. Select the failed over shared folder to re-protect.
2. Click Action > Re-protect.
3. Select a new source server for the replication task.
4. Choose to re-protect either the source data or the data at the destination. When Active Backup for Business data is relinked, changes made when the source was down will be stored on the original destination server. If you want to continue to use this data, select the original destination server to overwrite the shared folder data on the new source server.
5. Click Re-protect to start the action.

Watch this video for detailed instructions on backing up and relinking Active Backup for Business data with Snapshot Replication.

1. Go to Hyper Backup. Click the + Create icon > Folders and Packages.
2. Select a backup destination.
3. Select Create backup task.
4. Enter the required information.
5. Select the "ActiveBackupforBusiness" folder and then select the "@ActiveBackup" folder to back up. The "ActiveBackupData" folder only contains virtual files, and does not need to be backed up.
6. Follow the wizard to complete the setup.

Refer to the following tutorials to learn how to back up data to other destinations:

• To a local shared folder or USB
• To a remote Synology NAS or file server
• To a cloud service

1. Click the restore icon and select a restoration type.
2. Select the backup task created for Active Backup for Business you want to restore.⁵
3. If the backup task is encrypted, you'll need your password or encryption key.
