I've tested a couple of restores and that seems to work really well so far. The only downside is that HyperBackup and Duplicati use their own compressed backup formats, though that may not bother you. You can get HyperBackup as a desktop client as well but I've not tried that so far. The external USB at some point post-lock down I'll start rotating it out and keeping versions at a relatives house. Then I use Synology HyperBackup on NAS #1 to backup to NAS #2, then HyperBackup again on NAS #2 to backup to an external USB. I use desktop software called "Duplicati" to backup desktop files to my first 2 bay NAS.

Just testing and having a play at the moment - comfortable with that as most data I have is already backed up to DropBox/Google Drive etc. I'm sure others will have more sophisticated backup suggestions but here's what I've just started doing. I'm guessing you mean Synology not Synergy
