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.
- 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.
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.

Protecting business file servers without the need for an agent
File servers implementing common protocols like SMB and rsync are under our purview. With simplified setup, Active Backup for Business reduces management costs for IT admins as all of the important information you need has been centralized to one dashboard, and one DSM.
Simple deployment with agentless backup
No matter how many domains are set to be backed up, admins can monitor and manage backup tasks effortlessly from a single interface.
Agentless backup
Back up files on a daily basis, without having to install complicated and costly agents on source servers or worry about affecting client performance and agent compatibility.
Flexible backup schedule
File server backup supports flexible schedule options from hourly to daily on the days you wish to back up to fit with specific protection policies.
Backing up is your responsibility
It is your responsibility to protect your data being created on Google Workspace services, as they are not backed up or saved for long-term need.
Multi-versioned mode
Offers multiple recovery points by creating a new version for each backup run, allowing you to easily recover files from any previous point in time.
Mirroring mode
Suitable for users that need only the most updated version of their files, as it overwrites the backup on the target based on the changes made on the source.
Incremental mode
It can be used for archival purposes, as the backup will be overwritten by the newly added and modified files, while keeping the deleted files on the target.
DSM integration
Leveraging the maturity of DSM technologies and supporting encryption as well as Btrfs, Active Backup for Business can greatly enhance data security and storage efficiency.
Encryption
The encryption feature ensures that the data stored in shared folders are strictly confidential as no users can access the content without your private key.
Btrfs-ready
For data stored in Btrfs volumes, compression can minimize storage consumption, while data scrubbing can correct major memory and storage errors.
Supports SMB and rsync
SMB and rsync protocols are supported in file server backup
An SMB server
SMB is used to transfer files from Windows file servers to your Synology NAS. Taking advantage of FSRVP (File Server Remote VSS Protocol) integration, the consistency of your backup is ensured. In addition to file backup, Windows ACL can also be backed up, letting you easily restore files and access control at the same time.
An rsync server
The rsync protocol is used to transfer files from servers to your Synology NAS. Taking advantage of rsync, you can enable block-level transfer, encryption, compression, and bandwidth control, enjoying safe and efficient transfers. In addition to file backup, Linux POSIX ACL can also be backed up.
Backup and recovery for VMware and Hyper-V
Back up unlimited VMware® vSphere™ and Microsoft® Hyper-V® virtual machines with powerful storage space reduction technologies.
In the event of disaster or service downtime, you can instantly restore a virtual machine to a production site or Synology Virtual Machine Manager (VMM).
Easily connect to your vSphere host without installing an agent and start creating backup tasks with ease.
