Protect your intellectual assets
When it comes to data security, businesses should take full responsibility of controlling their data and protecting against human errors and malicious attacks.
Hold data for compliance and legal purposes
With industry regulations in place, organizations often face the challenge of data retention. In the long run, however, the storage space needed could incur significant costs.
Optimize the data restoration process
As data on Google Workspace might take considerable time and effort to restore, it is crucial to enhance restoration efficiency and minimize work disruption.
Your NAS, your control
Businesses can enable continuous backup to minimize the risk of data loss while flexibly preserving backup versions by setting a specific duration for file retention.
Continuous backup
Businesses can continuously back up user services and shared drives, thereby minimizing the risk of data loss.
Flexible file versioning
Data will be backed up if changes are made. 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.
Smart restoration
With Active Backup for Google Workspace Portal enabled, both employees and admins can easily locate items for restoration and restore or export them within a few clicks.
Facilitate the restoration process by restoring a single file, along with its metadata, email, email attachments, contacts, or calendar events instead of an entire backup task.
Content search helps filter out any email, mail attachment, contact, or calendar that contains search keywords instantly so that you don’t have to look through a mound of backup data.
Users can preview the content of an email, or the detailed info of any contact, before restoring to avoid wrong items.
Mail, contacts, and calendar data can be exported in EML, CSV, and ISC formats, respectively, while Drive data and mail attachments can be exported in Office file formats.
Management redefined
No matter how many domains are set to be backed up, admins can monitor and manage backup tasks effortlessly from a single interface.
Centralized dashboard
The comprehensive dashboard enables IT admins to monitor real-time and historical protection of backup services, storage consumption, as well as data transmission history.
Account discovery
Account Discovery, which can be enabled per service, detects shared drives or users whose Google Workspace services are enabled, and automatically selects them for backup, saving admins the trouble of manual setup.
Storage efficiency
Synology's advanced storage technologies enable businesses to keep the most data while using the least amount of storage space.
Single instancing
Mail, calendar attachments (Btrfs volumes only), and Google Workspace files that contain identical content will only be stored to your Synology NAS once, which saves storage space.
Block-level deduplication
Files stored in Btrfs volumes on Synology NAS can be deduplicated from previous versions, minimizing the storage space required.
