#. In the Synology UI, go to *Control Panel > Shared Folder* and choose the folder you want to use as the destination for the backup.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: Do not select an encrypted folder. Encrypted folders on Synology enforce a character limit of 143 characters. At this time, StartOS backups use folder/file names that are longer than 143 characters. The backup process will fail if you try to backup to an encrypted folder.
|
|
|
|
#. Still in the Synology UI, go to *Control Panel > File Services > SMB* and click the SMB tab if it isn't already selected. Ensure that "Enable SMB service" is checked.
|
|
|
|
#. Under Advanced Settings on the same tab, set "Min SMB protocol" to SMB2 and "Max SMB protocol" to SMB3
|
|
|
|
#. Also on the SMB tab, take note of your device name. Just under "Note" in a pale blue box, you will see "PC (Windows Explorer): " and "Mac (Finder):". These both provide network addresses that contain your device's name. This device name is the "Hostname" you will need to provide within the StartOS "New Network Folder" dialog in step 3 of the "Connect StartOS" section below.
|
|
|
|
#. Still in File Services, click on the rsync tab. Click the checkbox to enable the rsync service.
|
|
|
|
#. Back in the Synonogy UI, click "File Station" and locate the the desired destination folder. Right click the folder, then *Properties > General*. Next to "Location" will be a folder location. The portion of the location *without the volume label* is the value you will use for the "Path" within the StartOS New Network Folder dialog. For example, if the Location is `/volume1/Backups`, the value you care about is `Backups`.

* Hostname - This is the hostname of the destination machine
|
|
* Path - This is the name of the destination folder (e.g. `Backups` from the example above)
|
|
* Username - This is the user on the remote machine that you used to create the shared directory
|
|
* Password - This is your user (from above) password
