Bare metal recovery of NAS via cloud, experiences? advice?

Hi guys,

I’m looking to get a synology nas as a small file server and backup target in a SOHO environment. I’ve been looking at Hyper back up and using backblaze as a cloud storage provider.

Is hyperback up enough to do a full bare metal recovery from total drive(s) failure?

For example, if you were to have a pool of 1TB HDD with a volume of 1TB and it died, all your synology apps/configs/user accounts and data are now gone. You now have a new 1TB hdd and need to restore everything like it never happened.

I’m aware that the above example is not best practice but I’m using it as a worst case scenario. I’m asking this because its quite well documented how to do this on other environments like a windows machine. You can use acronis or veeam boot media and it will provision a new hdd and replace all the data at a volume level.

How is this process done on a synology nas? Has anyone experienced it before?

I’ve seen plenty of documentation on how to restore individual files using Hyper back up but not on how to restore it from a bare metal situation.

Thanks,
