QNAP Systems announces that, effective March 31, 2025, due to recent changes to Google’s Google Photos API, the MARS (Multi-Application Recovery Service) application will no longer be able to back up Google Photos to QNAP NAS. To align with these changes, QNAP will release an updated version of MARS (v1.2.0), which will remove the Google Photos backup feature.
Users who have previously backed up their Google Photos to their QNAP NAS using MARS can rest assured that their existing backup data will remain intact and accessible. However, new backups from Google Photos to QNAP NAS will no longer function.
Alternatively, the company encourages users to follow this tutorial to continue backing up their Google Photos to QNAP NAS using Google Takeout.
We understand that this may impact some of our users who rely on MARS for Google Photos backup, and we sincerely appreciate your support and understanding. QNAP remains committed to providing robust and efficient backup solutions to protect your important data.
If users have any questions, they can contact QNAP Customer Service.
