Installation of Safe Backup Plus on a Synology NAS follows the same process as installing any other SPK:

1. Open the Package Center
   
   • If on DSM 6, ensure the settings noted above have been applied.
2. Click "Manual Install" in the top right
3. Upload the .spk file downloaded from Safe Backup Plus Server
   
   • If on DSM 7, accept the prompt to allow the installation of a third-party package.
4. Accept the license agreement
5. Enter credentials the appropriate Safe Backup Plus Server and User
   
   • If a previous version of Safe Backup Plus has been installed on the NAS and its settings were not removed when it was uninstalled, the installer will automatically detect the credentials. Leaving all fields blank will reuse the existing credentials; new credentials can also be entered as usual and will take precedence.
6. Click "Apply" to complete the installation

DSM 7 only: Permission issues will stop the backups from working correctly. Please follow this guide here https://help.safedatastorage.co.uk/portal/en/kb/articles/dsm-7-permissions to get the backups working.
