NAS Backup and Recovery
Back up petabytes across your file shares.
Recover a whole share with users still in it.
for 30 days
BENEFITS
NAS Protection at Petabyte Scale
Scalable Backup
Your backup window holds steady as shares grow, because only changed data moves.
Instant NAS Recovery
Users are back in the share in minutes, while the full restore finishes in the background.
Recover Clean
Restore from a copy nothing can touch, checked for malware before it matters.
Secure Your Backups From Attack
Immutable NAS backups land straight in a hardened repository, and malware detection now covers unstructured data too.
Capabilities
Protection That Grows With Your Data
Every Share, Every File Server
Protect SMB and NFS shares, Windows and Linux file servers, and object storage in one place, with no NDMP dependency and no vendor hardware dictating how your backups run.
Recover a File or the Whole Share
Bring a whole share back in minutes while users work in it, or pull a single file from a specific point in time. Permissions are restored alongside the data.
Keep a Copy Ransomware Can’t Reach
Write backups to an immutable, hardened repository where nothing can alter or delete them before retention expires, and extend the same lock to NFS and SMB repositories on WORM-capable storage.
Find the Attack Before You Restore
Each backup reads the data as it runs, flagging the mass renames and deletions that signal an attack. Add indicator-of-compromise checks and signature or YARA scans across file share and object storage backups.
Meet Retention Rules Without the Bill
Keep weekly, monthly and yearly restore points for as long as regulators ask, on archive-class storage rather than your primary tier. Retention is set inside the backup job itself.
Scale Out Without a Redesign
Add object storage as an extent in a scale-out backup repository and grow capacity as your data grows, without reworking your architecture or pausing jobs that are already running.

FAQs
What is a NAS Backup solution?
What are the most typical examples of unstructured data files?
There are many different workloads for unstructured data, or the data that users create every day including documents, presentations, graphics, etc., as well as the massive amount of data that devices are creating every second in the Internet of Things.
Few common examples include:
-
Common user data from office applications (docs, spreadsheets, presentations, etc.)
-
Surveillance video from doorbells and law enforcement body cams
-
Medical records that include x-rays or other imaging files
-
Warehouse data including barcode images
What are the advantages of a NAS backup solution?
There are many types of NAS solutions that have many protocols and versions that are used to protect unstructured data. The most important advantage of a NAS backup solution is the ability to have access to the data remotely, from an off-site location, that can be used as a disaster recovery option when it comes to recovering your unstructured data.
Another advantage is the flexibility to protect not only server message block (SMB) and network files shares (NFS), but also Windows and Linux fileservers. The combined options reduce the time to backup any data and ensure a fast recovery of any NAS device.
