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."
"Veeam Is very useful for most environments and can scale up in most environments - such as Amazon or Azure."
"We get a lot of features with Veeam and we are happy to use this solution. After shutdown, the servers here automatically turn off and Veeam is keeping up all this. It's tension free work."
"This solution is very flexible and user-friendly — it's very good. It's very good with our virtual and physical infrastructure."
"Pricing is fairly reasonable and not overly expensive."
"It is a stable product with useful snapshot and replication features."
"I'm satisfied with tech support, because the solution is so stable that I haven't had the need to engage any of the engineers yet."
"It is a global major solution for quite a lot of people."
"The solution does a good job with VM backups."
 

Cons

"Improving the pricing would be great."
"The main drawbacks of Synology C2 Backup are slower processes in certain regions and less frequent updates."
"Sometimes Veeam is not that effective when it comes to legacy environments."
"I would like them to move back to host licensing."
"I prefer a software backup solution that allows me to easily define my origin data, including data files, folders, and virtual machines."
"Apart from security improvements, enhancing compatibility with various platforms and addressing limitations related to integration and verification would be beneficial."
"Veeam Backup Replication could improve by having better integration with the cloud. Additionally, they do not have direct integration to S3 or Azure storage for the backups of the VMs. This feature would be beneficial because we have to go through the scalable repository which I do not like."
"The pricing model could be improved. It can be made cheaper."
"In future releases, I would like to see more automation capabilities. It could integrate with automation services to automatically resolve identified issues rather than simply providing instructions to the user."
"The product is missing some commonsense features and tools for an enterprise backup recovery product,"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Pricing is not the cheapest, but you get a lot of value for your money."
"It comes with a higher cost and it is an all-inclusive solution."
"Room for improvement is actually more in the way of licensing. The really good and useful features are in the Enterprise plus edition, and that one is really expensive."
"I would rate the product's pricing an eight out of ten. The licensing costs are yearly."
"The solution's pricing is cheap."
"We are on an annual license for Veeam Backup Replication. We could expand or upgrade the license for the Office365 features. Next year we might go to a three-year plan for support on license."
"The pricing is on the higher side, so I think they have to think about the price. It's a stable product and there was no requirement to keep in touch with the support team, so the renewal license was too expensive."
