In the last step we need to configure a new Task in Task Scheduler that is available in Control PanelĬreate new Task by pressing Create and choosing proper option that's suitable for your scenario. With that knowledge in mind we can now setup backup of ftp server to Synology. The important thing now is to find where the folder SecureBackups is actually stored on our Synology. Right click on SecureBackups and choose Properties.Īs you can see below our newly shared directory is available at /volume1/SecureBackups
Select proper permissions for the user (in our case Read/Write for admin)Īfter pressing OK newly created share should be available within Synology File Station This step is not really necessary for the backup itself but our Client wanted to have access to his backups from his Mac so he can do verification of content from time to time.
In our case it's called SecureBackups and we've enabled Recycle Bin option (although not necessary it comes useful).Īfter pressing OK we're given an option to choose users who will be able to access the Shared Folder (either from Mac or Windows). Pick a name for it according to your prefered standards. To prepare Synology to get files from an ftp server and store it safely on Synology we need to prepare couple of things first.
