Provides fast access to files and offers a reliable backup solution without compatibility issues
Versioning control helps speed up data recovery by providing easy access to previous versions of files. This is particularly useful when moving backups to off-site storage and deploying them quickly during installations. My experience with Synology Backup's security features includes partitioning for production environments, regular scans for new threats, and support for multifactor authentication. Password security is also emphasized, meeting basic security requirements. Before choosing Synology, consider its sensitivity in your network infrastructure, especially for critical backup and storage tasks. Prioritize security, including testing and recovery procedures, and evaluate the device's performance to ensure it meets your needs effectively. Overall, I would rate Synology C2 Backup as an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The advantage that AWS Backup has over competitors is that it's very simple."
"It provides an easy data migration process from on-premise to cloud."
"What I like about AWS Backup is its simple approach to a complex problem."
"It also saves costs and is quick."
"The solution has an effective overwrite feature."
"I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten."
"The auto-scaling feature and the time efficiency of setting up AWS Backup are the most valuable aspects for us."
"The most valuable features we have found are the flexibility in the services offered."
"It's good for file services."
"I find Synology C2 Backup valuable for its speed, features, and server compatibility."
 

Cons

"One of the limitations of AWS Backup is that it only does file-based copying."
"The AWS Backup backend reporting is a major area that needs improvement. We would be very excited if we can see some reporting, such as trends. We do understand that there are reports available for S3 Bucket, in which the AWS backend stores the data. However, if we can receive holistic reporting, then it would be very helpful for us."
"It could be less expensive."
"They should work on their visual capabilities."
"The initial setup of the solution is complex."
"The service disconnects a lot."
"Only the price could be improved."
"AWS Backup could improve because you cannot use Glacier or anything but EFS."
"The main drawbacks of Synology C2 Backup are slower processes in certain regions and less frequent updates."
"Improving the pricing would be great."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is inexpensive."
"We don't use a lot of space, only approximately 900 GB, so the price is reasonable. For standing, it's okay. We normally do a payment to SSML, and they are the ones who pay over there. It is around $100 monthly."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
"The clients pay for the whole AWS bundle. It is an affordable solution."
"AWS is more expensive than some competitors like Azure."
"Its price is much cheaper than some vendors but more expensive than others."
"Our customers pay a monthly AWS fee that includes the AWS Backup service."
"The pricing is okay."
