Enable email notifications on the NAS
Enable email notifications for backup tasks in Synology DSM on each NAS.
Synology Backup Monitoring - Every NAS in One Dashboard
Your Synology NAS already sends status emails for backup tasks. BackupMonitor turns them into one dashboard across all devices and customers.
Every Synology NAS reports on its own: a backup task email here, a replication email there. An MSP looking after many NAS devices at many customers receives a daily flood of similar-looking DSM emails - and the inbox never tells you whether a specific device reported at all today.
BackupMonitor collects all Synology status emails centrally, assigns them to devices automatically, and raises an alert when a device stops reporting.
Set up in three steps
Send them to BackupMonitor
Use your personal BackupMonitor address as the recipient, or forward the emails with a mail rule. Nothing is installed on the NAS.
Dashboard & missing-mail alerts
Each NAS shows up as a device automatically. If a device stops reporting, BackupMonitor flags it as an error.

- Synology Snapshot Replication
- Synology Amazon S3 backup
FAQ
Which Synology backup emails are supported?
Status emails from local backup tasks, Active Backup for Microsoft 365, Snapshot Replication and Amazon S3 backups. If your NAS sends a format we do not recognize yet, contact us - we add parsers regularly.
Do I need to install a package or agent on the NAS?
No. BackupMonitor only reads the notification emails DSM already sends. No package, no agent, no remote access to the NAS.
What if a NAS goes offline and stops sending emails?
Missing expected emails are treated as errors. A NAS that silently disappears shows up as a problem on the dashboard instead of going unnoticed.
How do I keep track of many NAS devices across customers?
Each NAS appears as its own device and can be organized into groups per customer or site. Weekly summaries and service desk alerts keep you informed without opening the inbox.
