Restoring Hyper Backupඞ

According to official docs:

NOTE!: Some data/settings may not be backed up even if specified and using the full system recovery. Some notes about someone's recovery process:

  • The restoration of almost 8TB of data took about 2 straight days. I'm not complaining, just mentioning it in case others are concerned about restores taking a long time.
  • I backed up the system config and apps in hyper backup and selected the option during the restore to restore system config settings, but I found that apps/packages other than Moments and the handful of default packages DO NOT get installed/restored as part of the backup. The package data appears to be saved in that if you download and install a package that was present in the backup, all of your package configurations and settings seem to be restored, but packages do not get downloaded and installed automatically. I found this to be a bit annoying.
  • Users and groups were backed up and restored appropriately.
  • Settings such as snapshot replication or Drive versioning were completely not re-implemented, so anyone restoring the full NAS from hyperbackups should make sure to re-enable all of these.
  • Firewall settings were not backed up/restored; none of my rules show up in the restored version, which is quite frustrating to discover.
  • Shared Folder Sync (this is what I use to back up the NAS to another NAS semi-regularly) settings were not restored, so anyone using shared folder sync should make sure to double-check their tasks.
  • Nothing about Docker was backed up; not even after downloading Docker, none of my previously-installed containers/images show in docker (I don't mean the containers aren't installed as I had them; unlike my other apps, it appears as if nothing about docker was backed up as part of hyperbackup).
  • I'm finding random various settings that were not restored to what I had them.
