Hello,
The UrBackup is not being listed on the SynoCommunity repository, how cooud I find the spk package to install it manually?
Other doubt: I have a UrBackup server running well for years and I would like to backup Synology directories, tried to mount them via NFS, but the local directory from UrBackup server is filling up and do not complete the backup. So I’m thinking to have UrBackup client on the Synology to backup them directly, is there a way to have it?
tried 2.5.30 today, on a DS216+ (braswell arch) on DSM 7.1
error : “Raising maximum file descriptor to 65535 failed. This may cause problems with many clients. (errno=1)
Raising nice-ceiling to 35 failed. (errno=1)”
if I run it as root , only error “Segmentation fault”
@josef109 Thank’s for your effort! Do you have a documentation about how to install your packages? I searchd nearly everything without success.
Tried to add the .zip file to /var/packages/ and it appears in the package center but with a warning.
the logs telling me only pkgtool.cpp:2996 stat /var/packages/urbackup/etc failed [No such file or directory]. Creating the folder would not lead into solution.
If someone knows a howto install the packages under Release Urbackup Server 2.5.30 · josef109/spksrc · GitHub please let me know 
you need to extract spk from zip then install it manually from Package Center in Synology Web interface.
How to extract? It is not simply rename .zip to .spk?
Ok, the armada38x-7.1.zip package i am using does not have a spk like other zip files.
Ok finally got a spk for my architecture armada38x with the following steps:
- download the source code at the end of the realeases table from josef109
- extract it and cd into the directory
cd ./spksrc-2.5.30 - start the build tools with a docker contaner (docker must be installed) =>
docker run -it -v $(pwd):/spksrc -w /spksrc -e TAR_CMD="fakeroot tar" ghcr.io/synocommunity/spksrc /bin/bash - run following commands inside the terminal that will be opened after running the command in 3.
make setup
cd spk/urbackup/
make arch-armada38x-7.1
- when done => package is under /packages. Install via web gui on your synology dms.

here it is !
Hi everyone… Is anyone still using these?
I’ve got 2.4.14 running on an old DS213j (Armada-370 CPU, using the ARM7-7.0 package) with DSM 7.1, but I get segmentation faults with both 2.5.27 and 2.5.30. I’ve tried the armada 370 and arm7 packages for 2.5.30. I think I tried both with 2.5.27 aswell, but it was a while back when I did that (before 2.5.30 was published).
Are these 2.5 packages working for anyone else using older NASes?
I was going to move over to using the Docker version… But you guessed it… Kernel is too old for Docker on this model.
Same here. Tried to find a urbackup client for my DS213j. DSM7.1.1 Kernel 3.2.101
install script not work. UrBackup - Download UrBackup for Windows, GNU/Linux or FreeBSD
- when start the backend throw segment fault.
Spk package all I found is for server, tried to install it but cannot find the urbackupclientctl or backend.
Tried to build from source but no experiences/knonwledge to do so
-stopped at no autoreconf error
Kernel version too low, docker not support .
Any help can provide would be highly appreciated 
Thank you !!
for @tin and @K_Fok - I managed to compile a working SPK for my dad’s Marvell 370 based Synology DS214se. This is what I use.
As the filename suggests this is for DSM 7.0 and only v 2.4.15-1 but it’s compatible with DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 8 which my dad’s synology is running, and it also works with the very latest clients. Of course there are newer versions but this is the most recent version I could compile, that runs, and that installs
Hi Puntloos,
Thank you for sharing your spk file, I just tried to install it.
It runs perfectly in my DS213J Urbackup server, but I need the client urbackupclientbackend urbackupclientctl.
May be if you can show me the direction how to complie it? I can try complie it myself.
Many thanks !!

Interesting, I wasn’t quite sure what was included in the SPK (I had the unique situation that I only needed the server, but also I actually was not local to the host machine - it’s in my dad’s basement). I don’t know if the SPK is ever supposed to include an installable client, since as you perhaps know, linux only has commandline and “philosophically” I think the SPK is intended to have some form of user interface…
To answer your question on compilation, ha, that’s an interesting one, what I did was install alpine linux on a docker image, and then follow Package UrBackup Server for Synology DSM 5.2 | Olivian Daniel Tofan I believe - and Synology package - #14 by Moisie - but frankly I can’t quite remember which steps I did and didn’t do. I’m in a “it works don’t touch it” state…
