Efficient Backup Solutions

The Synology RS819 can serve as a centralized backup target. Whether you are a Windows or Mac user, you can back up everything on your computer directly to Synology NAS using Cloud Station Backup.

Synology Hyper Backup allows you to schedule backup jobs and restore the server from a particular point in time, but will always minimize storage consumption and processing time by backing up only the specific block of data that has changed between versions.

The RS819 offers you a complete Cloud Service. Cloud Station allows you to sync files across DiskStations and multiple devices, including Windows PC, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, and Windows mobile devices, while bi-directional sync allows file sync across different DiskStations. With Cloud Sync, you can even sync your DiskStation with Amazon Cloud Drive, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Dropbox, Baidu Cloud, and many others - establish your hybrid cloud to enjoy more flexible storage and prevent data loss.


The most compatible sharing

Enjoy seamless file sharing across Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms as the RS819 offers intelligent network protocol support including FTP, SMB2, AFP, NFS, and WebDAV. With Windows AD and LDAP integration, RS819 can fit effortlessly into any network environment - there is no need for IT administrators to maintain two sets of credentials.

    A perfect NAS!

    I was looking for a NAS to store personal files, movies but also to make an NFS disk for virtualization.

    This one is perfect. I have 4 disks of 2TO in raid 5, which allows me to have a read/write speed of 200Mb/Sec.

    On the functionality side, I have a VPN access, an NFS server, a file server and a media center. I get the status of the synology server with SNMP.

    The NAS is easily manageable and really powerful!

    Great

    My third Synology NAS.
    No need to boast about the possibilities of the DSM OS.
    Note that this NAS accepts 16TB HDDs, which allows you to have 96TB with the extension, all in house mirroring. This is a great feature for 4K video collectors.
    My other Synology NAS have been running 24 hours a day for the past 5 years without the slightest problem, with just a yearly blast of compressed air.
