All backup jobs use Smart Recycle with 256 versions to reduce management time.

In addition to the on-premises backup schedule, a second Hyper Backup routine is performed, sending copies to a Backup NAS at a different site. All shared folders, DNS and DHCP are backed up from each Production NAS to the onsite Backup NAS on a daily basis. Hyper Backup is the main backup tool Marshall Day Acoustics now applies. The company decided to adopt 2 DS1815+, 3 DS1515+, and a DS916+ to work along with the existing DS415+ for a seamless backup solution. Marshall Day Acoustics was advised by NSP, a trusted managed service provider and VST NZ Ltd, a storage distributor, to consider an alternative enterprise option provided within the Synology feature set. Daniel Protheroe, Research and Development team, Marshall Day Acoustics With Synology NAS, we experience fewer IT related interruptions and can focus more on what we do best – acoustic consulting. Hyper Backup’s block-level incremental backup minimizes required storage for the backup routine, allowing us to be fully prepared for any disaster recovery scenario without using up too much space. Using Hyper Backup, we can easily back up data from one site to another. The built-in backup and disaster recovery functionality have been dependable and have given us great peace of mind. The NAS servers integrate seamlessly with Active Directory and our Windows based workstations. Our new Synology units are fast, reliable and secure. Our backup system was comprehensive but occasionally unreliable. This solution was expensive to maintain, and we encountered some compatibility issues with our Windows based workstations. Marshall Day Acoustic's previous IT system consisted of Ubuntu file servers at each of our offices throughout New Zealand.
