Deploy remote storage

To implement the 3-2-1-1-0 backup strategy effectively, we recommend using scalable storage devices or services as your backup copy destination. As your backup server approaches its storage capacity, consider copying the data to remote storage for extended and efficient long-term retention.

In Infrastructure > Remote Storage, you can add and manage the following remote storage types:

  • Synology NAS with ActiveProtect Vault installed (global deduplication capability included)
  • Object storage services such as Amazon S3 and Synology C2 Object Storage

Before setting up your remote storage, it's helpful to understand the following terms and concepts:

  • Bucket: When setting up Amazon S3 or C2 Object Storage as remote storage, you need to choose a bucket as the destination for your data. A bucket is a container for objects stored in Amazon S3 or C2 Object Storage. You can store as many objects or data as required in the bucket.
  • Vault: When setting up Synology NAS as remote storage, you need to choose a vault as the destination for your data. A vault is a dedicated shared folder on the NAS. Data stored within the same vault or shared folder will be deduplicated together. We suggest creating separate vaults for different sites to keep data independent.

  • Backup catalog: Backup catalogs are automatically generated under vaults or buckets once the copy process begins. Each backup catalog is associated with a backup server within the site, storing data copied from that specific backup server. Access and deletion of data in the backup catalog are exclusive to its associated backup server.
