Protection and data integrity through Btrfs 

The Btrfs new generation file system has tools to prevent data corruption. Btrfs on the volume holds two copies of metadata and allows you to recover data in the event of hard disk corruption or damage or in the occurrence of bad sectors. For a common file volume, it detects special tooling errors. However, Btrfs creates checksums for each read operation so that the error is detected immediately and it is automatically corrected. The snapshot features let you create a copy of the entire shared folder. This way, in the event of database loss or corruption due to human factor failure, you can quickly recover data back to the moment the image was taken.

A comprehensive operating system DiskStation Manager 

NAS has an elegant browsing operating system, DiskStation Manager (DSM) viewer. Thanks to a clear environment, you can easily manage all of your services settings and even add it to different packages to customise it for your needs. To protect important data and other assets, DSM offers new management and security tools, so Synology NAS can serve as a network strategy centre. And with the Snapshot Replication feature, DSM offers businesses a nearly continuous data protection and replication to multiple sites for more comprehensive protection. In addition, Synology Hyper Backup can now back up multiple versions to all types of target locations

In addition, Cloud Sync offers more precise synchronization control and backup of files from your Synology NAS to an external cloud service host.
