Synology Hyper Backup with Enderchest

Hyper Backup's S3 Storage destination accepts a custom server, so a Synology NAS can back up to Enderchest without any extra software.

Endpoint https://s3.enderchest.store · region eu-ams-1 · path-style addressing · an access key from the console. 50 GB free on every account, then $3 per TB per month; downloads and API requests are free.

Create the task

  1. In the console, create a bucket (for example nas) and a read-write access key.
  2. Open Hyper Backup, click + and choose Data backup task.
  3. Choose S3 Storage as the destination.
  4. S3 server: Custom Server URL. Server address: s3.enderchest.store.
  5. Signature version: v4. Leaving this on v2 is the usual cause of an authentication error.
  6. Access key and secret key: the pair from the console. Then pick the bucket from the list, or type its name, and give the task a directory name such as the NAS hostname.
  7. Choose the shared folders and applications to back up, then the schedule.
  8. Under settings, enable transfer encryption and, if you want the data unreadable to anyone without the passphrase, client-side encryption. Keep the passphrase somewhere safe; without it the backup cannot be restored.

Notes

Hyper Backup keeps versions on its own schedule; Smart Recycle is the default and keeps hourly, daily and weekly points. Storage is billed on what the backup holds, $3 per TB per month after the free 50 GB, counted by the day. Restoring to the NAS, or browsing the backup from the Hyper Backup Explorer, costs nothing.
