Synology Active Backup for Business
Free Plan
description Synology Active Backup for Business Overview
Synology Active Backup for Business (ABB) is a remarkable, license-free backup solution bundled with Synology NAS devices. It provides centralized backup management for physical Windows/Linux servers, endpoints, VMware/Hyper-V VMs, and Microsoft 365/Google Workspace data.
Its integration with Synology's DSM operating system is seamless, offering deduplication, compression, and instant restoration of VMs and files. The ability to back up VMs and servers to a NAS for free is an incredible value proposition. It's ideal for small to midsize businesses that own or are considering a Synology NAS and want to consolidate backup tasks without additional software licensing costs. Compared to running third-party backup software on a NAS, ABB is more tightly integrated and efficient.
The primary limitation is that it's a vendor-locked solution requiring Synology hardware, and support is community and vendor-based, not 24/7 enterprise-grade.
