Restarting Synology Backup Scheduler - SAFE Backup

Restarting Synology Backup Scheduler - SAFE Backup

If a backup is missing the schedule and runs directly on a Synology, you can give the scheduler a restart by following these steps while logged into the NAS. 

STEP 1 - Open PowerShell
Press Windows key + X and select Terminal or PowerShell

STEP 2 - Connect to the NAS
Type the following and press Enter:
    ssh admin@192.168.1.x
(replace the IP with your actual NAS IP address)
Enter the password when prompted.

STEP 3 - Check if the scheduler is running
Type the following and press Enter:
    ps -ef | grep java
If you see a java process listed, it is running.
If you only see the grep line itself, it is not running.

STEP 4 - Stop the scheduler
Type the following and press Enter:
    touch /volume1/@appstore/SDSLOBM/obm/ipc/Scheduler/stop

STEP 5 - Start the scheduler
Type the following and press Enter:
    /volume1/@appstore/SDSLOBM/obm/bin/Scheduler.sh

STEP 6 - Confirm it is running
Type the following and press Enter:
    ps -ef | grep java
You should now see the java process listed, confirming the scheduler is running.

STEP 7 - Disconnect from the NAS
Type the following and press Enter:

    exit
