17 Chapter 7: Update and Restore Your Synology Router

This chapter introduces how to update SRM and its packages and how to back up/restore SRM.

Update SRM and Packages

Synology periodically releases free SRM updates and package updates to x reported issues, enhance system

and package performance, and o󰀨er whole new features.

SRM

You can manually update SRM if you have obtained a .pat update le. The system will display the current SRM

version and check if a newer SRM update is available.

To update SRM and modify update preferences, go to Control Panel > System > Update & Restore.

Note: You cannot downgrade SRM using a version older than the current version running on your Synology Router.

Packages

At Package Center, the system will display packages that have any updates for download. With an .spk update

le, you can manually update packages.

To update packages and tailor-make the update settings, go to Package Center.

Note: You cannot downgrade packages using a version older than the current version running on your Synology

Router.

Back up and Restore SRM

By backing up and restoring SRM, you can preserve important settings for future use. We suggest you regularly

back up SRM congurations and store the conguration le (.dss) on your Synology NAS or local computer.

At Control Panel > System > Update & Restore, you can back up current SRM congurations or restore

previous congurations by importing the .dss le here.

Note: If you click Restore factory default settings, all user data stored on the external storages will be erased and

the entire system will be restored to default settings. Please refer to SRM Help for more information.
