Security and data integrity thanks to Btrfs

The Btrfs filesystem is a new generation of tools that prevent data corruption. Btrfs has the volume to store two copies of the metadata, and allows you to recover data in the event of damage to the hard disk or the occurrence of bad sectors. In the current volume filesystem errors are discovered by special tools. But Btrfs creates read operation checksums during each read, so the error is immediately revealed and automatically corrected. The imaging functions allow you to copy the entire shared folder. This way, in case of loss or database corruption due to human failure, you can to quickly restore the data back to the time when the picture was taken.

Services at your fingertips

NAS has an elegant browser based operating system, DiskStation Manager (DSM). Its clean environment can handle all settings and can even complement a variety of packages to adjust it exactly for your needs. To protect important data and other assets, DSM provides new management tools and security, so that Synology NAS can serve as a central networking strategy. With the introduction of Snapshot Replication services, DSM offers businesses nearly continuous data protection and replication to multiple sites for comprehensive protection. The Synology Hyper Backup package can now perform backups in multiple versions on all types of destinations.

It is important for you to have your files at hand, regardless of which device you use?

Cloud Sync also offers precise control of synchronisation and backup of files from your Synology NAS to  externally hosted cloud services.
