NAKIVO Backup & Replication v.10.9 and higher cannot be found in the Package Center for Synology DSM 7.

Background

The option of downloading NAKIVO Backup & Replication 10.9 + is unavailable at the Synology Package Center.

Note

Installation of NAKIVO Backup & Replication v.10.9 + on Synology using the 'Manual Install' in the Package Center instead of using SSH is not possible due to Synology's limitations.
