i'm in the process of setting up backing up a dc\ file server using veeam agent to a synology nas , i have another synology nas at another locaiton and im using synology rsync to copy the backup folder to the offsite location when it detects changes in the folder,
my questions are
1.the full backup is 200Gb and the upload connection from source site is about 8Mbps (so far this has taken 3 days),it looks like its copied 124.56Gb and its started coping again please see pic below
2. is there a better / different way i could be doing this?
3. i'm keeping backups for 28 days with active full backups each saturday, would forever incremental be a berrer option ?
Just checking: 9mpii extension is created by Synology copy, right? That's not Veeam's extension.
2. is there a better / different way i could be doing this?
I am afraid if the bandwidth is low there is not much you can do about it, however I'd check regular 'upload' via Windows explorer. Looks like the native Synology tool is quite slow. Any chance you have Veeam B&R server? You could use backup copy jobs from one repository to another.

With forever forward incremental backup you end up synchronizing all the backup every day due to transform operations. Chain with periodic full backup is better - you just need to upload all newly created incremental restore points while full backup is synced only once.
