Protect your data from ransomware threats with Snapshots

Snapshots are an advanced backup method and are normally reserved for high-end business NAS. QNAP provides snapshots as standard for all NAS – including the TS-262. Snapshots work by recording the current state of the system, allowing it to be restored back this state at any time - greatly helping in mitigating the threat of ransomware.

Read the guide for home data protection against ransomware.

Easy As 1, 2, 3, 4

1. Back up PCs to your NAS
   Always remember to back up! You should routinely (or automatically) back up files and data from your computer to your TS-262
2. Take snapshots within seconds
   Instantly take snapshots to record the current state of your system and data. You can quickly restore files and data to a previously recorded state by selecting a snapshot version from a specific time point
3. Back up snapshots
   Multiply data protection by backing up snapshot files! Replicate snapshots in the TS-262 to a remote NAS (Snapshot Replica) and only copy the changes made. This helps save time & bandwidth, and can be run manually or on a scheduled basis
4. Restore data using 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
