In the event of disaster, quickly restore a virtual machine to its original location or Synology Virtual Machine Manager, minimizing service downtime.
Incremental backup
Boost the speed of backup processes through native integration with VMware Changed Block Tracking or Hyper-V Resilient Change Tracking to only transfer the changed data during every new backup task.
Application-aware image backup
Ensure data consistency in VSS-aware applications, including Microsoft Exchange, Active Directory, SQL, and SharePoint running on VMware or Hyper-V.
Built-in global deduplication
Greatly reduce the space needed across devices and platforms by saving duplicate files only once.
