Synology Elevates Enterprise Data Resiliency with ActiveProtect Manager 1.2

Taipei, Taiwan — April 20, 2026 — Synology today announced the release of ActiveProtect Manager (APM) 1.2, the latest software update for its ActiveProtect data protection appliance series. This update significantly enhances centralized management capabilities and expands platform support, enabling organizations to strengthen data resilience across diverse IT environments.

"ActiveProtect has received strong market response since its launch," said JiaYu Liu, Executive Vice President of Synology Data Protection Group. "Organizations today are seeking modern alternatives to traditional backup software, with reliability, simplicity, scalability, and cost efficiency among the key considerations. With APM 1.2, we further enhance deployment flexibility and expand platform support to address evolving data protection needs."

Enhanced large-scale management

APM 1.2 doubles the centralized management capacity of DP7400 and DP7200, allowing organizations to manage and monitor up to 300,000 workloads through a single pane of glass. The update also enables DP320 and DP340 to serve as management servers, giving enterprises and managed service providers (MSPs) greater flexibility to support diverse deployment scenarios.

Expanded platform support

To address the evolving technology landscape, APM 1.2 expands support for the latest platforms and operating systems. The update introduces backup capabilities for macOS 26 and major Linux distributions, adds compatibility with Hyper-V on Windows Server 2025, and enhances protection for critical database environments.

Strengthening 3-2-1-1-0 data protection

APM 1.2 further strengthens data protection with enhanced backup copy workflows. Features such as retroactive copy enablement and extended retention help ensure backup protection remains aligned with organizational SLAs, even as deployment environments or protection policies evolve. Real-time progress tracking provides clear visibility into backup copy status, allowing teams to quickly identify potential issues and respond as needed.
