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 most valuable feature of this solution is the replication functionality."
"The most valuable feature is the integration with our Teams environment."
"It is very simple to set up."
"Veeam is affordable and end-to-end configuration is straightforward, whether you're going from source to destination or vice versa. Retrieval is also easy."
"The solution is easy to use and stable and can be made to fit one's needs."
"The support offered by both Veeam and our third party supplier is excellent."
"Once you set it up, it works very well. You do not have to go back to reconfigure it– it is very easy to use"
"This covers the areas of backing up Office 365 that Microsoft does not include in its standard routine."
 

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 solution could improve by having the ability to back up without an agent installed on the system."
"They need more documentation, awareness, and assistance."
"The license pricing can be reduced."
"While I don't have a use case in mind, it would be great if they could integrate more automation capabilities into the solution."
"We attempted to use it for our DRP, however, we found it too expensive and complex, so we decided to use it just for backup."
"The documentation for the installation is good. However, if you are new to the environment the installation could be difficult. The first time we did it it took approximately four days."
"It's a new product. It's not mature."
"The capacity storage is a challenge everywhere in the backup industry. The general feedback people are coming back to about this is that there is no deduplication based on it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"For the number of users and amount of storage you receive, it is not expensive."
"There is a license required for this solution and we pay annually."
"I'm not sure about the price, but I think it could be lower."
"We decided on Altaro because, from the point of view of the total cost, Altaro looks cheaper than Veeam. Veeam has a lot of costs that are not clear when you start it, which makes it less flexible than Altaro, but only after half a year, you can be really sure that you made a good decision."
"This is not a stand-alone product and requires a standard Veeam license for your organization in addition to the cost of the solution."
"We have 2000 users and pay about $10,000. It may be a little bit more per year. We have an education institute and may have fewer expenses."
"The solution is not expensive."
"I have a per-user license for the number of users and the mailboxes that I have."
