Title: Backup Failed - Standing By
Post by: Starb7 on October 28, 2026, 10:36:23 AM
Hi All

Not sure if anyone reads this forum any more but here goes...  I have 2 x LS210D units, one if my primary unit and the other is for some other folders and a Backup of the primary units folders.

The backup has worked fine for ages and recently, it now just show Backup Failed (with no useful info as to why) and 'Standing By'.  I have tried:

Resetting the Backup Plans
Creating new plans
Changing the IP's to Fixed IP's
Refreshing the 'Backup Target' (I can choose the folder with no issues)
Create a backup folder with no SMB or AFP set, ie just for Backups
Checked the Data and Time - both the same
Rebooted umpteen times
Changed the network to the base 1500 Frame Size (on both)

At a loss now - are these just 'bin-fodder'?

I can read and write to and from both units - no error and appear on the network fine.

Any ideas before a buy a new Synology ;)

Cheers

Plenty of uses for the little things but I'm not familiar with troubleshooting that backup feature. You might be able to pull a log to get a hint about what's happening.

firmware update/re-install might even help
