Server Backup

Server backup includes three alternatives: Network Backup, Local Backup, and Amazon^® S3 backup. You can backup data in shared folders or sub-folders and choose between incremental backup options or other flexible scheduling choices. All can be easily configured with a step-by-step wizard to make it simple to create an automated backup solution.

Network Backup

Network Backup allows you to backup files and data from one Synology DiskStation to another Synology DiskStation (or other rsync-compatible servers) over the network.

With the Encrypted Network Backup option, data is encrypted when a backup task is being processed, protecting your important data with a higher level of security.

The block-level backup option only backs up modified part of files. This option is especially practical when Network Backup is executed over the Internet.

Local Backup

The Synology Local Backup function allows you to backup data from certain shared folders to another shared folder located on internal hard drives or externally attached USB/SATA drives.

Amazon^® S3 Backup

Amazon^® S3 Backup allows backing up data from the DiskStation to an Amazon^® S3 server. The backup file is stored in the Bucket of your choice in your Amazon^® S3 account.
