Protect Windows PCs with Synology Backup Solutions

Synology

Updating to Windows 11 is an important step for security and system performance, but for many businesses, the transition brings risk. With Windows 10 support ending on October 14, 2025, companies must prepare for potential vulnerabilities, compatibility issues, and the possibility of data loss during the upgrade process. This is why endpoint backups must be a top priority before proceeding with any system changes. Learn more about data-protection strategy.

Epis Technology helps businesses protect their Windows PCs with a Synology-based backup strategy designed to ensure resilience, fast recovery, and long-term data safety across all endpoints.

Why You Must Back Up PCs Before Updating to Windows 11

Windows 11 introduces strict hardware requirements. Older corporate PCs may fail the upgrade entirely or suffer operational issues due to outdated drivers or incompatible applications. Even when an upgrade is successful, system settings may reset, and in rare cases, files and folders may be lost if an interruption occurs during installation.

As cyber threats continue to rise, PCs holding sensitive company data are frequent attack targets. Before any operating system upgrade, organizations should ensure their data is protected, stored securely, and quickly recoverable. See how Epis Technology solves key data protection challenges.

Where Epis Technology + Synology ActiveProtect Strengthen Your Upgrade Strategy

Epis Technology deploys Synology ActiveProtect, an integrated backup solution that consolidates endpoint protection into one unified platform. Designed for modern hybrid workplaces, ActiveProtect ensures that every PC, onsite, remote, or mobile, is continuously backed up and protected. See the full ActiveProtect overview here.

Streamlined Endpoint Backup with ActiveProtect

ActiveProtect empowers Epis Technology to centralize PC data protection with advanced features tailored to the modern enterprise.

Agent-Based Auto-Backups & Smart Recovery Planning

Using Synology’s agent-based protection, Epis Technology configures:

Scheduled or event-based automatic backups
Mass PC deployment using “connect keys.”
Role-based access controls ensure only authorized staff manage backups

This minimizes management overhead while keeping every Windows PC protected under a consistent policy.

Ransomware-Ready Backup Architecture

ActiveProtect includes immutability and WORM support, preventing any unauthorized edits or deletions—including by attackers. Epis Technology also configures logical or physical air-gapped copies, ensuring clean backup sets are available even after a ransomware event.

Flexible Restore Options: Full or Granular

Epis Technology provides multiple recovery paths, including:

Bare-metal restoration for full system recovery
Granular restore for specific folders or files
Device migration support, useful during OS upgrades

This ensures organizations can recover exactly what they need, when they need it.

Efficient Storage Through Global Deduplication

As businesses generate large volumes of endpoint data, Epis Technology leverages ActiveProtect’s global source-side deduplication, eliminating redundant files across all devices. This reduces storage usage and accelerates backup performance across the fleet.

Why This Matters During the Windows 11 Upgrade Cycle

PCs that fail the upgrade can be restored instantly using bare-metal recovery.
Legacy applications can be rolled back using a full image.
Corrupted files can be restored from isolated, immutable backups.
IT teams avoid emergency downtime or data reconstruction

With Epis Technology managing the entire backup and restoration workflow, organizations gain full confidence during the transition to Windows 11.
