Qnap Backup Decryptor

A tool to decrypt QNAP NAS encrypted backup files.

This will decrypt backup files (not sync files) created using the QNAP Hybrid Backup Sync tool.

This tool is an alternative to the QENC Decrypter provided by QNAP. This tool is faster by orders of magnitude (eg: 1,800 files takes 0.9 seconds using this tool and approx 20 seconds using the QNAP tool).

Installation

Binaries for Windows, Linux and Mac, are available in Releases.

The QnapBackupDecryptor-FD files are Framework dependent and require an install of .NET 5 to be installed on the system. Available from here. If installing .NET is not an option, the QnapBackupDecryptor-SC files are larger, but do not require a .NET 5 install.

Quickstart

Decrypt a Folder, prompt for password and see the complete output file list

This is the same as the eample gif above.

• Windows QnapBackupDecryptor.exe -e c:\Files\Enc -d c:\Files\Dec --verbose
• Linux QnapBackupDecryptor -e ./Files/Enc -d ./Files/Enc --verbose

Decrypt a Folder and see the complete list of files, but specify the password

• Windows QnapBackupDecryptor.exe -e c:\Files\Enc -d c:\Files\Dec --verbose -p Pa$$w0rd
• Linux QnapBackupDecryptor -e ./Files/Enc -d ./Files/Enc --verbose -p Pa$$w0rd

Decrypt a Folder and overwrite any duplicate files in the destination

• Windows QnapBackupDecryptor.exe -e c:\Files\Enc -d c:\Files\Dec --verbose --overwrite
• Linux QnapBackupDecryptor -e ./Files/Enc -d ./Files/Enc --verbose --overwrite

Decrypt a Folder and delete successfully decrypted source files

WARNING: This will delete the Encrypted files if they are successfully decrypted. Ensure you have backups as the files will not be recoverable!

This will prompt for confirmation.

• Windows QnapBackupDecryptor.exe -e c:\Files\Enc -d c:\Files\Dec --verbose --removeencrypted
• Linux QnapBackupDecryptor -e ./Files/Enc -d ./Files/Enc --verbose --removeencrypted

Decrypt a single file to a folder

• Windows QnapBackupDecryptor.exe -e c:\Files\Enc\Encrypted.jpg -d c:\Files\Dec --verbose
• Linux QnapBackupDecryptor -e ./Files/Enc/Encrypted.jpg -d ./Files/Enc --verbose

Decrypt a single file and specify the new name

• Windows QnapBackupDecryptor.exe -e c:\Files\Enc\Encrypted.jpg -d c:\Files\Dec\Decrypted.jpg --verbose
• Linux QnapBackupDecryptor -e ./Files/Enc/Encrypted.jpg -d ./Files/Enc/Decrypted.jpg --verbose

qnapbackupdecryptor's Issues

No usable version of libssl was found on Fedora 39

Hey there,

I tried the tool again since I did not need it for a while but now I get the above error running it. :-(

I guess there have been some updates in openssl which are installed by Fedora and now it does not work anymore.

Is there any workaround or fix?

Feature request: Output same folder tree as input

The only thing lacking is for it to output the results into the same folder tree as the source folder tree. :-)
