Backup replication with Hyper Backup and rsync

Synology Hyper Backup enables versatile use in data backup applications. In case of requests in these, the secured data should also be stored on another NAS, for example for the worst-case scenario, in case of fire or water damage in the server room, precautions are taken. There is the possibility to synchronize the backup storage with a second NAS, preferably in another building, or if there is the possibility to be located in a different location.

This article shows the structure of data synchronization between two NAS. The data backed up with Hyper Backup on the RackStation is synchronized with a DiskStation that is on the same network but is installed in another building.

To start, rsync is enabled on the external DiskStation, under Enable data services – rsync – rsync service.

To start, rsync is enabled on the external DiskStation, under Enable data services - rsync - rsync service.

For rsync account enable the Edit rsync account button and add a user.

Now with the RackStation, which runs the Hyper Backup backup, open the Hyper Backup app and create a new backup task by clicking on (+) Plus.

The Hyper Backup Backup Wizard is opened, as a backup destination under File Server you select rsync and click on next.

Create a backup task with a server name or IP address as the backup destination, enter user name and password, choose the shared folder and a directory.

Shares can be selected to be saved.

If you want to back up applications, they can be selected, this is not required for synchronization.

Backup settings define the task notification and backup schedule.

Rotation settings can define backup rotation, with backup schedule and rotation scheme for a desired number of retained versions.

From the DSM on the RackStation, the first backup to the second NAS can now be made. The backup task can be added to an existing task, or a new backup task can be created, and it is recommended that you allow sufficient time between the two jobs to ensure that the second job is not started until the first backup is complete.

When DiskStation receives the synchronized data, the Hyper Backup backup appears as an hbk folder, the folder can be opened with a deflator click, for which Hyper Backup must be installed.

Easily turn off Windows Firewall with netsh or in the PowerShell

There are still situations where it is necessary to disable the Windows Firewall. Windows Powershell supports Firewall disable command, where the service does not need to be stopped or disabled. On Windows Server, you can disable the firewall from the console using netsh commands. Windows Server 2012 or later also allows the Set-NetFirewallProfile PowerShell cmdlet to run.

Turn off the Firewall with Windows PowerShell

To do this, open Windows PowerShell as an administrator and run the following line:

Set-NetFirewallProfile -Profile Domain,Public,Private -Enabled False

Reactivating the Windows Defender Firewall requires -Enable True instead of False at the end.

Disable Firewall with the netsh command

Open a command prompt with administrative privileges and insert the following command:

netsh advfirewall set allprofiles state off

This example retrieves all of the firewall rules in the active store, which is a collection of all of the policy stores that apply to the computer. Running this cmdlet without specifying the policy store retrieves the persistent store.

PS C:\>Get-NetFirewallRule -PolicyStore ActiveStore

Example in Powershell to retrieves all of the Windows Firewall if it’s disable or not. The rules scoped to the public profile.

PS C:\>Get-NetFirewallProfile -Name Public | Get-NetFirewallRule

Description

The Get-NetFirewallRule cmdlet returns the instances of firewall rules that match the search parameters from the user. See the New-NetFirewallRule cmdlet for Windows Powershell Firewall disable for more information.

This cmdlet returns one or more Powershell Firewall rules by specifying the Name parameter (default), the DisplayName parameter, rule properties, or by associated filters or objects. The queried rules can be placed into variables and piped to other cmdlets for further modifications or monitoring.
