Synology DS3622xs Active Backup for Business Admin Guide for File Servers - Page 5

Introduction Physical Server Backups • Back up Windows and Linux devices with scheduled and manual backup options. • Create recovery media for bare-metal restorations, restore individual files and folders using the Active Backup for Business Portal, or instantly restore your physical device to a virtual machine in Synology Virtual Machine Manager, Hyper-V, or VMware. • Privileges to perform restorations can be assigned by the admin account (if enabled), as well as by all other DSM users or groups. • Active Backup for Business Agent can perform Application-aware backup on Windows servers with the help of Microsoft's Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS). File Server Backups • Back up files and folders from Windows and Linux devices using SMB and rsync file transfer protocols. • Select a backup mode as needed: • Multi-versioned: Each time the task runs, a new version with the changes made on the source will be copied entirely to a new folder on the destination • Mirroring: Each time the task runs, any changes made in the source folder will be copied to the destination and overwrite the existing file, making the destination folder a complete mirror-copy of the source. • Incremental: Each time the task runs, newly added and modified source files will be copied to the destination, overwriting the previous version of the file. • Set up and fully control backups from one central console. • No need to install a backup agent or enter sensitive DSM login details on source devices. Virtual Machine Backups • Safely back up virtual machines directly from VMware and Hyper-V. • Enable Application-aware backup on Virtual Machines to ensure data consistency with the help of Microsoft's Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS). • Fully restore your entire virtual machines to VMware or Hyper-V. • Use Instant Restore to restore your virtual machine to Synology's native hypervisor, Synology Virtual Machine Manager, as well as directly to VMware or Hyper-V. • Perform a Guest OS Files (Windows / Linux) Restore via Active Backup for Business Portal to restore specific files on your virtual machine instead of an entire virtual machine. 03
