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

"It's good for file services."
"I find Synology C2 Backup valuable for its speed, features, and server compatibility."
"Good compression when storing data."
"Pricing is fairly reasonable and not overly expensive."
"Veeam is highly scalable. In one scenario, we started with 2,000 users and scaled up to 24,000."
"The solution is very easy to deploy."
"The solution works well in two different environments, whether it is on-premises, cloud, or a combination."
"The WAN accelerator feature has been the most valuable for me. That feature reduced the time needed to complete the task from 25 days to less than a week! This is compared with the original tools used: ntbackup, robocopy and Windows Server Backup."
"I like Veeam a lot because it solves problems, is stable, and runs very well."
"Veeam Backup & Replication is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"Improving the pricing would be great."
"The main drawbacks of Synology C2 Backup are slower processes in certain regions and less frequent updates."
"We would like to have the ability to perform more things on the web interface. The heavy client is still needed to perform advanced tasks."
"The product’s stability has certain issues and needs to be improved. The solution’s pricing could be also cheaper."
"One challenge that we have encountered was on the long-term retention of data. Be sure to look into a dedicated deduplication appliance."
"They could include better automation features for migrating VMs without further configuration for the product."
"The solution could improve the performance. We are not able to check the status of any system. Additionally, if there was an option to monitor server clusters it would be helpful."
"The only issue on which we would like to see for improvement would be, potentially, the ability to do some different things with recovery, like faster recovery onsite."
"Apart from security improvements, enhancing compatibility with various platforms and addressing limitations related to integration and verification would be beneficial."
"Backup speed should be increased, and there should be more functionality."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is always nice to get products cheaper. Technically, it saves you a lot of money. If you wanted to buy the same functionality out of vSphere, you would spend thousands to essentially get the same functionality."
"It comes with a higher cost and it is an all-inclusive solution."
"I think the price is good when you choose the Essentials Suite, but when you buy a full featured version (for instance the Enterprise Plus) the price is a little bit expensive."
"The price of Veeam is much lower than the IBM solution."
"It is not expensive and I would rate it five out of ten."
"We pay for the license of Veeam Backup Replication on an annual basis. The cost of the license is approximately 70,000 rials. The support and maintenance are included in the price."
"The price is slightly higher than its competitors."
"Veeam Backup and Replication is a cost-effective solution"
