Take control of your business data cost-effectively

By going through a simple setup process, businesses can easily back up files stored on various OneDrive for Business to Synology NAS without configuring tasks one by one or relying on costly cloud-based backup solutions.

Comprehensive file protection and restoration

In addition to files themselves, the corresponding metadata, such as the last modified time, and sharing permissions stored on OneDrive for Business are all supported for backup. When it comes to restoration, all the above-mentioned items can be restored to the original or any other OneDrive for Business directly without additional settings required, which is perfect for streamlining office collaboration.

Easy management

Active Backup for Office 365 allows businesses to back up OneDrive for Business in different domains and manage backups with its all-around features, thus maximizing IT admins' management efficiency.

Centralized dashboard

A clear overview that enables IT admins to monitor real-time protection of OneDrive for Business on Office 365, backup status, storage consumption, and historical transmission at a glance.
Account discovery

With the account discovery feature enabled, newly-created users will be automatically detected and selected for backup, which minimizes the possibility of leaving out any employee.

Your NAS, your control

Businesses can enable continuous backup to minimize the risk of data loss while flexibly preserving backup versions according to the time period set for file retention.

Continuous backup: Continuous backup allows businesses to back up users continuously, thereby minimizing the risk of data loss.

Flexible file versioning: If changes are made, files will be backed up. When a backed-up file is updated to a new version, its previous version will be preserved for the period of time you set for file retention, so that at least the previous version will be available for restoration.

Storage efficiency

Synology's advanced storage technologies enable businesses to keep the most data while using the least storage space.

Single instancing

With single instancing, files that contain identical content will only be transferred to and stored on Synology NAS once, which helps save network and storage space.
Block-level deduplication

Files stored in Btrfs volumes on Synology NAS can be deduplicated with previous versions, minimizing the storage space required.

Self-service recovery portal

The convenient Active Backup for Office 365 Portal provides a simple way to browse and restore data for IT admins and employees.

Efficient restoration

Performing restoration tasks can be time-consuming for employees and might add to IT admins’ workload. With the intuitive Active Backup for Office 365 Portal, employees can easily restore files or folders by themselves without the assistance of IT admins, which not only enhances efficiency but relieves IT team members' burden as well.
Flexible role change

For companies with a strict policy of prohibiting employees to restore data by themselves, MIS team members who possess admin privileges can flexibly switch between multiple accounts to browse different employees' backup tasks and help restore their data.

DSM integration

Leveraging the maturity of DSM technologies and supporting the features of encryption and Btrfs, Active Backup for Office 365 ensures data security and storage efficiency.

Encryption

The built-in encryption feature strictly ensures confidentiality of data stored in shared folders, as no one can access their contents without a private key.
Btrfs-ready

For data stored in Btrfs volumes, compression can minimize storage consumption, while data scrubbing can correct major memory or storage errors.
