The New Active Backup

[brauner]

Does anybody manage to run The New Active Backup suite?

 

It requries activation, that fails (error 404) on 6.1.7

The 404 is because the serialnumber is not a valid one. If you set a valid serialnumber in your grub.conf youll get the synology account login screen for activation instead of 404.

Hi

 

I used the XPEnology New Serial Generator (https://xpenogen.github.io/serial_generator/index.html) and changed the SN.

 

My env. is ESXi 6.0 and DSM 6.2 with 1.03b loader

 

I still have an error, should I change the MAC too?

Hi,

 

the algorithm for the serialnumber generator is quite wrong and so it wont give you a valid number. As a workaround (i guess no one will release a valid sn-generator) you can install the "beta" version of activebackup as it did work. https://archive.synology.com/download/Package/spk/ActiveBackup/

[brauner]

thank you

 

can you please tell me, what version is the beta version?

[hoppler]

2.0.1-0403 is the beta version

[evolucja]

Any possibility of generating valid serial number? I'm not sure if using the beta version is the good way to think of backups..

[hoppler]

you could google picture it probably

Just block the activation element using your favorite adblocker.

At least that works for me in the G Suite edition of Active Backup.

 

[maxime]

I don't understand.. How can you block the activation using adblocker? Can you please show me how to do it? Thanks

[djvas335]

I confirm it works, you block the activation element with the adblocker and you also block the mask

I would also like to know how to use adblock to block the activation .

 

tried "AdBlock" but no results

[hoppler]

There is a better way^^ Just activate it:

 

In your browser open the following urls one after another:

 

Replace the following: URL, PORT, USER, PASS, SERIALNUMBER (dont replace any other symbols like : oder ")

1. https://URL:PORT/webapi/auth.cgi?api=SYNO.API.Auth&method=Login&version=1&account=USER&passwd=PASS
2. https://URL:PORT/webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.ActiveBackup.Activation&method=set&version=1&activated=true&serial_number="SERIALNUMBER"

To get the current activation status call the 1. query above and then

• https://URL:PORT/webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.ActiveBackup.Activation&method=get&version=1

------------------------------

Example for

url: server,

port: 5001,

user: admin,

pass: admin,

serialnumber: 123400

1. https://server:5001/webapi/auth.cgi?api=SYNO.API.Auth&method=Login&version=1&account=admin&passwd=admin
2. https://server:5001/webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.ActiveBackup.Activation&method=set&version=1&activated=true&serial_number="123400"

The last method dosn't work for me.

 

The first command worked, but I only get the this error after the second command:

 

{"error":{"code":102},"success":false}

[hoppler]

code: 102 means the API does not exist. This happens if ActiveBackup is "stopped" or not installed. Make sure you can open ActiveBackup before calling the methods above. Also make sure to use the SerialNumber of youe synology station

[Locutus]

It worked after reinstalling ActiveBackup

[rain_cs]

Does this method works for Active Backup Office365?

 

I tryed:

 

https://nas.my.domain:5001/webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.ActiveBackupOffice365.Activation&method=set&version=1&activated=true&serial_number="1234567890"

 

but it doesn't work: {"error":{"code":102},"success":false}

• Login (replace URL, PORT, USER, PASS)
  • https://URL:PORT/webapi/auth.cgi?api=SYNO.API.Auth&method=Login&version=1&account=USER&passwd=PASS

 

for ActiveBackup its the following urls

• Get Activationstatus
  • https://URL:PORT/webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.ActiveBackup.Activation&method=get&version=1
• Set ActivationStatus (use your SERIALNUMBER)
  • https://URL:PORT/webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.ActiveBackup.Activation&method=set&version=1&activated=true&serial_number="SERIALNUMBER" 

 

for Office365 its the following urls

• Get Activationstatus
  • https://URL:PORT/webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.ActiveBackupOffice365&method=get_activation&version=1
• Set ActivationStatus (use your SERIALNUMBER)
  • https://URL:PORT/webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.ActiveBackupOffice365&method=set_activation&version=1&serial_number="SERIALNUMBER"

 

for GSuite its the following urls

• Get Activationstatus
  • https://URL:PORT/webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.ActiveBackupGSuite&method=get_activation&version=1
• Set ActivationStatus (use your SERIALNUMBER)
  • https://URL:PORT/webapi/entry.cgi?api=SYNO.ActiveBackupGSuite&method=set_activation&version=1&serial_number="SERIALNUMBER"

Its what the apps do after you logged in successfully. therefore its no "hack" but the official way to activate those programs. as long as synology does not change that way it will uphold

[rain_cs]

Big Thanx!!!

[mats42]

Worked nicely. Thank you

help!  when I tried this line:

 

https://server:5001/webapi/auth.cgi?api=SYNO.API.Auth&method=Login&version=1&account=admin&passwd=admin

 with the correct server name, admin and password

 

My browser always does a search for this item on google or bing instead of returning the response.  

 

I can run the next two lines with the entry.cgi and I get the error back, but I can't get the 1st line with the auth.cgi to run.

 

It got to be something silly I'm missing.

 

Thanks!

[mbmb]

please ignore, it works fine now.  Don't know what I was doing wrong.
