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."
"The peace of mind of the backup is very important. Incremental backups make it fast and easy to use. We can recover from any failures in case of any hardware failures or malware attacks. We can do a rollback and recover our services with a little downtime. We can rollback even in the case of unsuccessful updates."
"The most critical features of Veeam Data Platform for ensuring availability and integrity are its fast virtual machine restoration using duplication for quick backups and the COBRA point functionality that allows us to run regu"
"The main feature for Veeam is that it's built primarily for virtualization, such as VMware or Hyper-V."
"The solution is quite easy to configure."
"The product allows us to use data more efficiently, reducing the cost of storage and backup time. It is vital to have data available in the shortest possible time."
"The solution does a good job with VM backups."
"The most valuable features are the notifications, which give us failure alerts for some infrastructure within the backup, and the reporting is excellent."
"I like the backup and backup copy features."
 

Cons

"The main drawbacks of Synology C2 Backup are slower processes in certain regions and less frequent updates."
"Improving the pricing would be great."
"The cost needs to be considered."
"The tech support could be better."
"It is always nice to get products cheaper."
"I would prefer it if the backup console did not require use of a specified program but rather that it could be opened from any website."
"The Cloud version is not ready, they need maturity and ease of deployment in terms of management."
"Veeam Backup is not enhanced. There aren't any enhancements yet and they are still using traditional methods for snapshots and to perform the backup, like many other vendors. Another improvement would be simplifying and integrating their software."
"The user experience can be better, as it is one of the areas with shortcomings in the product."
"The product's initial setup process could be complex for application backup and database agent installations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We use the community edition of the Veeam Backup Replication and it is a software-based license. It can be a little expensive."
"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."
"Setup cost and licensing of Veeam are nothing to complain about when compared to similar products for enterprise backup recovery solutions."
"The price of Veeam Backup and Replication is expensive."
"The price is quite fair."
"Its licensing is very simple. We can make changes very easily."
"The price is pretty cheap for our market."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."
