Hybrid Backup Sync multiple backups ensure your data protection
Rest assured your data is safe with the 3-2-1 backup rule and a reliable disaster recovery plan. Backups stored in the QNAP NAS can be further backed up to another QNAP NAS, remote server, or cloud storage, and restored quickly whenever needed.

Data Reduction
Too much data, not enough time for backup? QuDedup technology empowers backup tasks with source-based deduplication to optimize file sizes for greater time and storage savings. Backup/recovery becomes much faster!

Versioning
The more versions you back up reduces the risk of data loss. QuDedup is especially useful for accelerating multi-version backups to provide greater protection against data loss.
Encryption

Files can be encrypted/compressed before they are backed up or synced. This effectively prevents unauthorized access and provides an extra layer of protection for business data.

Intelligent Network
Automatically selects the best physical network ports for your task, supports auto-failover to ensure continuous services, and automatically switches back once the best network port reconnects.

Process Automation
Set the backup process on each NAS, then multiple NAS can automatically complete all job flows. Whether migrating big data or backing up to multiple destinations, IT staff can ease their workloads with a one-time setting.

10GbE & 2.5GbE-ready. Fast for bandwidth-demanding tasks.
The TS-h987XU-RP provides two 2.5GbE RJ45 ports (backwards compatible with 1G/100M) and dual-port 10GBASE-T connectivity.
