As per another post, I am in the process of moving my Nakivo backups from older Data Domains to Synology NAS arrays. The process I plan to use is: Install Nakivo Transporter on the Synology NAS. Register Synology Transporter with Director. Create a new "local folder" repo on the Synology transporter. Configure a backup copy job to mirror the existing DD repo to the Synology Repo. Delete the backup copy job, as you can't edit the destination target of the backup job if the copy job exists, but tell it to "Keep existing backups". Edit the VM backup job to point the VMs to their new location (this is a pain when you have a lot of VMs, wish there was an easier way to do this or have Nakivo automatically discover existing backups). Run the VM backup job to start storing new backups on the Synology repo. I ran a test and this worked fine, except all of the old recovery points that were copied by the backup copy job in step #4 had their retention set to "Keep Forever". I'm guessing this occurred when I deleted the copy job but told it to keep the backups. I'm assuming this is operating as intended? With 200 VMs and each having 9-11 recovery points, I can't manually reset the retention on 2,200 recovery points to fix this. I understand why it might have gotten changed when the backup copy job was deleted, but the Director wouldn't let me re-point the backup job until those copied backups were no longer referenced by another job object. I can use the "delete backups in bulk" to manually enact my original retention policy, but that will take 3 months to run the cycle. Any ideas?

@tkriener Dear Mr. Kriener, thank you for your post, and I appreciate your inquiry. It has come to my attention that you are seeking clarification regarding the inclusion of support for backing up online archive mailboxes in the forthcoming release of NAKIVO Backup & Replication, specifically in version 10.10. While it is prudent to employ the term "planned" when discussing potential features, given the potential for evolving circumstances, I wish to affirm that this feature is unequivocally within our product roadmap. Best regards.

Deploying Nakivo with Synology (FS6400) Array
cmangiarelli replied to cmangiarelli's topic in Deployment
>>> Please add the screenshot with the detailed information about the newly created Repository. Not sure why this is necessary, as the transporter/repo functions perfectly fine. My post is mainly concerned with the proper way to integrate Synology with Nakivo.

I'm not too worried about the efficiency of the deduplication algorithm of the Synology vs Data Domain vs. Nakivo; I'm satisfied as long as they are on-par with each other. The low cost of the Synology NAS vs. a dedicated Data Domain device was more than enough to convince us to switch to the alternate solution. We do use Nakivo's deduplication at some of our customer sites where a dedicated backup storage array is not available (i.e. the repo is stored on the primary storage array and we need to save space). I will remove my current repo (mentioned above) and re-create it with the following options: Options: Data Size Reduction: Enabled Compression: Fast Store backups in separate files: Checked Encryption: Disabled Enable automatic repository self-healing: Checked Run repository self-healing on: Not checked Run full data verification on: Not checked Enforce explicit file system sync: Checked Detach this repository on: Unchecked I will then enable Synology deduplication on /volume1. >>>> For security reasons, we highly recommend manually creating a folder for the Repository without using the Shared folder wizard. >>>> Please do not create this folder in the NAKIVO application home directory (it can be destroyed during the update process).

However, it would have been nice to have this documented somewhere so that a person like myself doesn't need to guess at the proper way to configure this. I couldn't find anything in the online Nakivo documentation on how to properly configure this type solution (Nakivo + Synology). Luckily I am versed enough in the technology to make somewhat intelligent decisions on how this should be working... that and Google is pretty good at pointing me to solutions of common problems/questions. -
Backup of Archive Mailboxes and Modern Authentication
tkriener replied to tkriener's topic in Microsoft Office 365 Backup
Hello, thanks for your explanation. I'm not able to provide any support bundle, because we are not yet using the M365 backup from Nakivo. I understand from the following statement of the 10.9 Release notes in section "Microsoft 365", that the backup of "online archive mailboxes", is not supported in 10.9: Backup and recovery of guest mailboxes, public folder mailboxes, online archive mailboxes, Group calendars, and Group planners, distribution groups, mail-enabled groups, security groups, resource mailboxes, read-only calendars, calendars added from Directory, event messages (that is, "#microsoft.graph.eventMessageRequest", "#microsoft.graph.eventMessage"), and outbox folders are not supported. This is were I would like to know if this is on the roadmap or may be already in the 10.10 version. Thanks, Thomas Kriener -

I currently have a Nakivo installation backing up to Dell Data Domains but transitioning over to Synology FS6400s. The transporters that control my backup repositories have the 'ddboostfs' plugin installed and mount the appropriate storage locations on the local Data Domain. I recently got my new Synology FS6400s online in my lab. After some web searching, I was able to find out how to manually update the version of the Nakivo Transporter service to 10.9; only 10.8 is available in the public channel and it's incompatible with a 10.9 director. The fact that I had to do this already makes me weary of running the transporter service on the array itself, even though we specifically purchased the arrays with 128GB RAM to ensure adequate resources. Anyway, I created a forever incremental repo on each array and testing was successful; though my data domains use the incremental with full backup and rely on DDOS for dedupe. However, I am starting to question the methods of which I was going to use my Synology to replace my Data Domains. I wasn't aware that the Synology's support data deduplication on the array itself, which is why I loaded the Nakivo Transporter service in order to reduce my storage footprint. Using Nakivo's deduplication requires a period of space reclamation that is historically dangerous should the process be interrupted. Given what I now know, I'm wondering how others have used Synology arrays to store their backup data? I myself question the following: 1. Should I still use the Nakivo Transporter service on the array, configure my repo(s) for incremental with full backup, and turn on Synology's data deduplication process for the volume hosting my backups? 2. Should I consider forgoing the Transporter service on the array, configure NFS mount points to my virtual transporter appliances, and turn on Synology's data deduplication process for the volume hosting my backups? 3. I created a folder (/volume1/nakivo) without using the Shared folder wizard where my repo stores its data. I've seen prompts indicating that information stored outside of "Shared Folders" can be deleted by DSM updates. Will future patches potentially cause my nakivo data to be removed since I created the folder myself? I have no reason to share out the base /volume1/nakivo folder if the Transporter service is local to my array. Other advise on using Synology and Nakivo together is much appreciated. P.S. After VM backups are taken, we perform backup copies across data center boundaries to ensure our backup data is available at an off-site location for DR/BCM purposes. By placing the transporter service on the array itself, we figure this replication process will be mainly resource driven at the array level (with network involvement to move the data) which will lighten our virtual transporter appliance footprint. Currently our replication process must send data from the local DD to a local transporter VM that then sends the data across an inter-dc network link to a remote transporter VM that finally stores the data on the remote DD. The replication process uses a good chunk of virtual cluster resources that could be better directed elsewhere.

@tkriener We would like to express our gratitude for your patience as we conducted our investigation. It appears that there may be some ambiguity surrounding the question at hand. It's worth noting that support for the backup of Exchange Online Mailboxes has been available since version 9.2, as documented in our release notes here: https://helpcenter.nakivo.com/Release-Notes/Content/v9-Release-Notes/v9.2-Release-Notes.htm Furthermore, the inclusion of Modern Authentication support was introduced in version 10.7.1, as detailed in our release notes here: https://helpcenter.nakivo.com/Release-Notes/Content/v10-Release-Notes/v10.7.1-Release-Notes.htm It's possible that there might be a requirement for something different or there may have been a misunderstanding when reviewing the release notes. If you require further clarification or have additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to our support team for assistance. We are here to ensure that you have a clear understanding of our product's capabilities. Thank you for your ongoing interest to NAKIVO Backup & Replication.

Hello, we are evaluating a switch from our existing M365-Backup solution to Nakivo. Are there any plans to support the backup of Exchange Online Mailboxes Modern Authentication From the Release Notes of 10.9 I saw that the backup of Exchange Online Mailboxes is not supported yet. In the user guide I found, that the backup user need to be excluded from conditional access. I know that in the past there where several limitations by MS, with APIs not supporting modern authentication, but as far as I know, those have been fixed. Is this probably already implemented for the upcoming 10.10 or are there any other plans? Regards, Thomas Kriener
