Pain points solved and needs satisfied

  • Global deduplication greatly reduces identical blocks across devices, platforms, and versions – with the proven 50%+ deduplication rate in real customer environments.
  • Forever-incremental backup identifies and transfers only changed blocks to reduce backup time and bandwidth.
  • Ensures backup consistency of VSS-aware applications, such as Microsoft Exchange, Active Directory, SQL, and SharePoint.
Highly efficient backup experience
  • Bare-metal recovery: Bare-metal recovery (BMR) helps you recover disk images, applications, settings, and data in the event of disasters.
  • P2V recovery: Instantly boot the backup image on VMware, Hyper-V or Synology’s own hypervisor platform, Virtual Machine Manager (VMM), to recover your service.
  • Self-service recovery portal: Allow users to perform instant file and folder recovery on their own without IT support.
Versatile ways of restoring

Inspect a video of your server backups starting up to ensure integrity and reliability. After a server is backed up, the startup sequence can be recorded and sent to you, helping you identify and troubleshoot issues before they escalate.

As part of the all-in-one solution, admins enjoy the simplicity of monitoring and managing all backups in a centralized dashboard, minimizing the effort needed to maintain the service.
