Install Duplicati

Download the latest release from duplicati.com and install it on your machine. Launch the application — it opens in your browser at http://localhost:8200.

Get your S3 credentials

Log in to your HummingTribe dashboard → S3 Storage tab. Copy your Access Key ID and reveal your Secret Access Key (shown once — save it now).

Add a new backup job

Click Add backup → Configure a new backup. Give it a name, set an encryption passphrase, and click Next.

Configure storage destination

Set Storage Type to S3 Compatible. Fill in the fields:

Click Test connection — you should see a success message.

Select source and schedule

Choose the folders to back up, set your schedule (daily is recommended), and click Save. Duplicati will run your first backup immediately.

Install rclone

On Linux/macOS run curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash. On Windows, download the installer from rclone.org.

Get your S3 credentials

Log in to your HummingTribe dashboard → S3 Storage tab. Copy your Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.

Configure a remote

Add the following to your rclone config file (~/.config/rclone/rclone.conf):

[hummingtribe]
type = s3
provider = Other
access_key_id = YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID
secret_access_key = YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
endpoint = https://storage.hummingtribe.com
force_path_style = true
region = garage

Test the connection

List your bucket to confirm everything works:

rclone ls hummingtribe:your-bucket-name

Sync a folder

Copy a local folder to your bucket:

rclone sync /path/to/local hummingtribe:your-bucket-name/backups --progress

Add this to a cron job for automated daily backups: 0 2 * * * rclone sync /path/to/local hummingtribe:your-bucket-name/backups

Get your S3 credentials

Log in to your HummingTribe dashboard → S3 Storage tab. Copy your Access Key ID and Secret Access Key. Note your bucket name.

Add object storage repository

In the Veeam console, go to Backup Infrastructure → Backup Repositories → Add Repository → Object Storage → S3 Compatible.

Enter connection details

Fill in the wizard fields:

When prompted for path style, select Path-based URL.

Set a folder and finish

Choose or create a folder within the bucket (e.g. veeam-backups), complete the wizard, and click Finish. The repository appears in your list and is ready to use in backup jobs.

Use as offsite target

In your backup or backup copy job, set this repository as the target (or as the secondary offsite copy target in a Scale-Out Backup Repository). Run a full backup to verify the connection end-to-end.

Install Hyper Backup

Open Package Center on your Synology DSM and install Hyper Backup if not already present.

Get your S3 credentials

Log in to your HummingTribe dashboard → S3 Storage tab. Copy your Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.

Create a new backup task

Open Hyper Backup → click the + button → Data backup task → S3 Storage. On the next screen select Custom S3 Compatible Server from the provider dropdown.

Enter connection details

Click Next — Hyper Backup will connect and list available folders in your bucket.

Select folders, schedule, and encryption

Choose the shared folders and applications to back up. Set a backup schedule (daily recommended). Enable Client-side encryption and set a strong password — this encrypts your data before it leaves your NAS. Complete the wizard and run the first backup immediately to verify.
