What the video does not say is you cannot simply attach the external drive into a new Synology box or the same box that has been reformatted and its OS reinstalled. You have to use a computer and this Hyper Backup Explorer program to extract the data from the backup datastore, put this extracted files onto the same external drive if there is still free space, then plug this external drive into the NAS, move the extracted data onto the internal drive in their respective shares, the format the external drive and reconfigure the NAS to use it as its own external drive for Hyperbackup package.
This is a huge time-consuming hassle if you have multi-terabytes of data. If is probably cheaper to have 2 Synology NASes running and use sync to sync the NASes.
