Comprehensive backup and disaster recovery solution
The TS-453E supports various apps that cover all your backup needs. Practice safe IT habits by regularly backing up files and device content, allowing them to be easily restored when needed.

PC/Laptop backup
For Windows, install NetBak Replicator to back up your PC to QNAP NAS. In macOS, just set up the built-in Time Machine to secure your data.

Remote backup for NAS
Hybrid Backup Sync makes it easy to back up data from a TS-453E to another QNAP NAS or remote server to fulfill your 3-2-1 backup strategy.

VM backup
Enjoy license-free VMware and Hyper-V VM backup with source-side incremental backup, global deduplication, and recovery compression.

SaaS backup
Safeguard enterprise cloud data by backing up/syncing files, emails, calendars, and contacts from Google Workspace and Microsoft Office 365 to the NAS.

Cloud backup for NAS
Use Hybrid Backup Sync to back up NAS data to myQNAPcloud Storage or other mainstream cloud space. For backup to object cloud storage, VJBOD Cloud is especially useful to reduce bandwidth usage and backup time.

QuDedup technology
Hybrid Backup Sync eliminates redundant data at the source and then backs up the deduplicated data, helping to save time and storage costs while providing efficient multi-version backups.

Take snapshots in seconds and revert the entire volume/LUN back to a specific point in time to prevent loss of important data.

Instantly restore snapshots
Snapshot content can be quickly restored to a local NAS, or restored on a folder/file basis to a local/remote NAS or cloud storage. You can also conveniently view and restore snapshots from the client side.

Back up snapshots
Multiply data protection by backing up snapshot files! Replicate volume/LUN snapshots in the TS-453E to a remote NAS (Snapshot Replica) by copying only the changes made. This helps save time & bandwidth, and can be run manually or on a scheduled basis.
