Remote Backup
Solutions for Backup, Storage and File Management
In today's information oriented world, data is important and valuable to businesses large and small. To ensure that data is protected from catastrophic disasters such as fire, flood, burglary, a remote off-site backup is required.
Today, there is a cornucopia of ways to backing up data off-site, such methods include a cost per gigabyte per month service to a third-party service; or a highly disciplined individual who will backup the important data and carry the backup off site; or hiring an expensive consultant who purchase expensive software and manage it on expensive PCs.
All Synology Servers support remote backup, entitled as Network Backup. A small office can utilize two Synology Servers to have one server backup to another server remotely. This embedded Network Backup function has the following benefits:
- Economical: There are no monthly service fees with the Synology product; users can backup as much data for their needs. Capacity near limitless as users can upgrade their disk when needed.
