Active Backup Dedup Solution (2024)

The more data to back up, more time is required. This can lead to backup jobs taking multiple hours to complete - sometimes requiring overnight processing - without factoring in the multiple backup versions required for disaster recovery purposes. QNAP now introduces HBS 3, which adds support for QuDedup technology that eliminates redundant data at the source and then backs up the deduplicated data. It helps ease your worries about insufficient time and storage, and reinforces your backup plan with greater efficiency and reliability.

   Worry #1:

   Every part of your organization generates lots of files everyday and makes multiple revisions to existing files. The number of new and revised files can be overwhelming.

2. Too much time

   

   

   Worry #2:

   You schedule backup tasks during non-working hours, but sometimes a full night is not enough and the NAS needs to perform normal operations during working hours. This also leads to incomplete backup versions.

3. Not enough space

   

   

   Worry #3:

   With the demands of newly-created files and the space required to back up these files, your organization faces challenges of insufficient storage space.

QuDedup eases backup nightmares and strengthens your 3-2-1 backup strategy

Keeping just one backup version may not be enough to safeguard your data. To increase your chances of recovering lost or corrupted data, you should follow the 3-2-1 rule: Keep 3 copies of important files, keep the files on at least 2 types of storage media, and store 1 copy off-site. Check how HBS can help you realize a comprehensive 3-2-1 backup plan.

For example, the QNAP marketing team creates and modifies lots of documents, graphics, and other files on a daily basis. While most of the changes are minor in detail, it is extremely inefficient to back up entire files each time as most of the file content is repeated. By using HBS 3 we easily avoid backup inefficiencies.

• First backup – save storage

  QuDedup technology deduplicates backup data at the source to reduce the backup data size by up to 75%. The initial deduplication process may take some time, but the deduplicated data makes future backup tasks much faster!

• Second backup – save time

  Follow the 3-2-1 backup rule, and save the second backup of your files to a remote site. As the backup size is only 25% of the original size, you save time on running backup tasks - allowing you to copy this backup to multiple locations and accelerate multi-version backups for greater protection against data loss.

  HBS 3 fulfills your needs for hybrid cloud backup. It supports the TCP BBR algorithm for congestion control to greatly improve extranet data transfer speeds. Your Internet just got faster so backing up NAS-based files to the cloud becomes much more efficient.

Easily preview and restore deduplicated files with QuDedup Extract Tool

Instantly restore backed-up QuDedup files in remote or cloud storage locations with the QuDedup Extract Tool or File Station for greater management efficiency.

• Take TB-level files on-the-go with QDFF file compression

  QuDedup supports block-level deduplication and data encryption on client devices. The deduplicated data is packaged and converted into an unpreviewable QNAP deduplication file format (.QDFF) and stored in the default QDFF folder. Deduplicated QDFF files are incredibly small and can be easily saved on portable-storage devices. (For example, a 10 TB file can be compressed into 1 TB - 2.5 TB.)

  

• Restore QDFF files across platforms with the QuDedup Extract Tool

  You can install the QuDedup Extract Tool on your computer (Windows®, Mac® or Linux®/Ubuntu®) and restore QDFF files downloaded from a remote NAS or cloud to their normal state. You can also preview deduplicated QDFF files and restore them with File Station. Cross-platform connectivity across NAS devices, computers, and the cloud makes file restoration more convenient.

• Portable, visible, and flexible to restore

  The QuDedup Extract Tool allows you to preview the differences in each version of a deduplicated file. You can select single or multiple files and folders to restore. You can also install the QuDedup Extract Tool on cloud storage for previewing backed-up and deduplicated files - greatly reducing cloud data transfer costs.
