Overall Satisfaction with Synology Active Backup Suite

I've been using the Active Backup Suite for over 3 years now at the school where I work. I use the 3 modules for 'Business', 'Google Workspace' and 'Microsoft 365'. The Business module is used to back up a standalone VEEAM server PC. The other two for Google and Microsoft are used to backup cloud data from the respective providers onto encrypted disk storage on the local Synology Box.

This forms part of my school's backup strategy - backing up the data backup server and backing up cloud data to local storage.

Pros

  • The interface to browse and restore files from the cloud backups is super-easy. As in drop-down boxes to select which account and then files and be exported for restore - no training needed to use it.
  • The Synology device is fast on the network - 4 x 1Gbps NICs
  • Updating itself
  • Being Reliable as a permanently on 24/7 device

Cons

  • Can't think of any currently.
  • Positive is obviously being a main part of the backup strategy along with quick data restoration.
Just works so well :)
