Synology’s Server Backup service offers business with different alternatives to backup copies of your most important data on DiskStation, so you are always prepared for the worst. The Backup and Restore feature centralizes every backup utility and gives you a one-stop, seamless experience. This includes local, server and cloud backup. Finally, Time Backup comes with Version Control and Quick Restore to provide peace of mind for you.


Network Backup

Network Backup allows you to back up data from one DiskStation to another one, including rsync compatible server, over the network. Encryption and compression makes a backup task safe and efficient. You can also block-level backup, so that only the changed files will be processed to save network bandwidth.


Shared Folder Sync

Shared Folder Sync allows users to synchronize specific folders from multiple servers to a single destination server in real-time1. Branch offices will be able to share documents with headquarter seamlessly and safely with encrypted folder protection. The disaster recovery time can be greatly minimized when your source DiskStation experiences failure, and in turn it can ensure maximum service uptime.


Time Backup

Time Backup is a unique backup application that comes with snapshot, multiple backup versions, and smart recycle that keeps storage space from filling up. With an intuitive interface, backing up and restoring files is effortless. You can either back up files from one shared folder to another shared folder or from one DiskStation to another backup DiskStation.


Backup Locally

Since you can create multiple volumes to place your data, you can always backup important data from between two volumes – from one shared folder to another shared folder. You can also back up data to an external storage device, such as a USB/eSATA hard drive.


Support for Amazon Cloud Solutions

Synology supports Amazon S3 and Amazon Glacier to give business users the ability to back up data from the DiskStation to their Amazon cloud storage. By having your Amazon’s cloud storage as a backup destination, it can be treated as a contingency site should anything happen to the data.
