Leverage versatile data protection solutions to easily establish multi-tier backup plans for your Synology devices, ensuring the highest levels of data and service availability.
Lower RPO targets by generating point-in-time snapshots of shared folders and LUNs at intervals as low as 5 minutes or by configuring data or system mirroring.
Minimize TCO and avoid bottlenecks with Changed Block Tracking (CBT) technology, which transfers and stores only modified data across versions and replicas.
Ensure backup reliability for all the services and databases in your infrastructure by integrating with Windows Server and VMware vSphere platforms.
Set retention policies and allocate resources based on the importance of each data repository and system in your deployment.
Shared Folder Sync | Drive ShareSync | Synology High Availability | Hybrid Share | Cloud Sync | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Simple and lightweight | Cross-site data synchronization | Active system mirroring | Hybrid cloud data synchronization | Integration with cloud providers | |
Ideal for | One-way replication of folders to another system. | Folder-level synchronization between Synology systems. | Mirroring between two identical Synology systems for the highest data and service availability. | File and folder synchronization between Synology devices and the C2 cloud. | Flexible file synchronization to and from the cloud. |

Combine different solutions to create a backup plan that keeps downtime at bay.
Mirror data to an on-site Synology server using Snapshot Replication for near-instantaneous recovery in the event of data loss or corruption.
Deploy Active Backup for Business to image your primary Synology server to a remote Synology device, including its settings, packages, and stored data.
Back up the secondary server to the cloud using Hyper Backup. Choose from Synology’s own C2 Storage, public clouds, or any S3-compatible cloud storage provider as your destination.
