This guide details how to back up a QNAP NAS using rClone or HBS via the OpenStack Swift protocol on Swiss Backup, the backup solution in a Swiss independent cloud.

Connecting via rClone

Prerequisites

• Have an Swiss Backup Infomaniak account with an available device quota (minimum 1) for a Cloud backup.
• Add 1 device of type Cloud to obtain the OpenStack Swift parameters.
• Install the rClone application (https://www.qnapclub.eu/en/qpkg/330) or HBS (https://www.qnap.com/en/software/hybrid-backup-sync) on the QNAP.

To configure a new backup:

1. Copy the content below into the rclone.conf file in the user's .config/rclone directory (e.g., /share/homes/backupuser/.config/rclone/rclone.conf).
2. Verify the configuration with "rclone config".
3. Start the copy with the command "rclone sync /share/to/sync Infomaniak:default".

Replace SBI-XXXXXXXX and "passwd" with the information specific to your device (refer to this other guide):

[sb_project_SBI-XXXXXXXX]
type = swift
user = SBI-XXXXXXXX
key = passwd
auth (1) = https://swiss-backup.infomaniak.com/identity/v3
domain = default
tenant = sb_project_SBI-XXXXXXXX
tenant_domain = default
region = RegionOne
storage_url =
auth_version =
