Backup DiskStation Data with Time Backup
Synology Time Backup is a quick and flexible way to backup and restore shared folders on DiskStation. You can
back up the data locally onto another volume, or onto an external hard disk. You can set up multiple tasks and
create more than one version for each task.
Time Backup features snapshot function. When creating a version, the system will take a snapshot and capture
the condition of the data within the specified moment. The system will create a version entry within seconds. You
can access the newly created version and edit the files you've just backed up with no time delay.
The Time Backup package is available at Synology’s Download Center. To learn more about how to use Time
Backup, see its help by clicking the Help button (with a question mark) at the top-right corner.
Note: For more information about installing packages for Synology DiskStation Manager, see "Manage Packages" on
