Settings

You can edit task settings when creating a backup task, or edit it after a backup task is created.

Notes:

To rotate versions:

Backup rotation is a version management mechanism. It helps to manage backup versions by automatically deleting older, unnecessary versions and potentially freeing up storage space. You can enable this function at Task Settings or configure it when you create a backup task.

  1. Select the desired backup task on the left panel, and click Edit or Settings > Task Settings.
  2. Select Enable backup rotation, and choose the desired rotation mode:
  3. Specify the maximum number of versions. When the version number exceeds this number, the oldest version is rotated.
  4. If you have configured a repeated backup schedule at Schedule, you can preview how your backup versions will be retained and the earliest recovery point in the timeline.
  5. Click OK to save the settings.

Note:

To perform file-level deduplication:

File-level deduplication is supported by Hyper Backup on DSM 6.1 or above. In addition to performing cross-version deduplication, Hyper Backup can also perform data deduplication when files are being renamed or copied to enhance storage efficiency.
