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).
Binaries for Windows, Linux and Mac, are available in Releases.
The QnapBackupDecryptor-FD files are Framework dependent and require an install of .NET 8 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 8 install.
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/Dec --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$$w0rd - Linux
QnapBackupDecryptor -e ./Files/Enc -d ./Files/Dec --verbose -p Pa$$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/Dec --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/Dec --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/Dec --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/Dec/Decrypted.jpg --verbose
