Why ActiveProtect Excels for Microsoft 365 Backup
Why Synology ActiveProtect Is the Best Backup Solution for Microsoft 365
Microsoft 365 has become the core productivity platform for modern businesses, powering email, collaboration, file storage, and communication across all departments. Yet despite its reliability, Microsoft 365 does not provide comprehensive backups. Its retention tools are limited, and they cannot protect against ransomware, accidental deletion, insider threats, or long-term data loss.
This is why a dedicated backup solution is critical, and Synology ActiveProtect stands out as one of the most powerful, secure, and cost-efficient options available. Designed for enterprise resilience, ActiveProtect delivers multi-site protection, immutable storage, fast recovery, and centralized management, making it the ideal backup solution for Microsoft 365 environments.
Why Microsoft 365 Alone Is Not Enough
Microsoft 365 operates under the shared responsibility model, which means:
Microsoft protects the cloud infrastructure.
The business must protect its data stored within it
This leaves companies vulnerable to:
Human error
Malicious deletion
Ransomware
Sync corruption
Account compromise
Expired retention windows
Without dedicated backups, businesses risk permanent data loss, non-compliance, and costly downtime.
What Makes Synology ActiveProtect the Best Choice for Microsoft 365 Backup?
1. Centralized Protection for All Microsoft 365 Workloads
ActiveProtect provides comprehensive backup coverage for:
Exchange Online (emails, calendars, contacts)
OneDrive for Business
SharePoint Online
Microsoft Teams files and channel data
Every important data source is protected in one unified system, reducing complexity and ensuring complete coverage.
2. High-Performance, Scalable Backup Architecture
ActiveProtect is designed for fast, large-scale Microsoft 365 backup operations. It uses:
Global deduplication
Parallel processing
High-throughput indexing
These capabilities maximize storage efficiency while speeding up both backup and recovery operations.
3. Immutable Backup Storage for Ransomware Protection
Immutable storage is one of the strongest defenses against ransomware. ActiveProtect can store backups in write-once, read-many (WORM) mode, ensuring:
No file modification
No deletion
No encryption or tampering
Even if attackers gain access to user accounts or endpoints, immutable backups remain untouched.
4. Granular and Full-Account Restore Options
With ActiveProtect, organizations can restore:
A single email
A specific file
A Teams folder
A full OneDrive account
An entire SharePoint site
Granular recovery saves time and avoids unnecessary downtime during incidents.
5. Multi-Site and Hybrid Cloud Flexibility
Backups can be stored:
On-premise using Synology hardware.
In Synology C2 Cloud
Across multiple locations
In a hybrid configuration
This flexibility supports redundancy, compliance, and disaster recovery workflows.
6. Centralized Monitoring and Policy Management
ActiveProtect provides a unified dashboard for:
Backup jobs
Restore activity
Compliance enforcement
Storage analytics
System alerts
IT teams gain full visibility and can manage Microsoft 365 backup operations with ease.
7. Cost-Efficient and Scalable for All Business Sizes
Because Synology solutions do not require per-seat licensing, ActiveProtect can significantly reduce long-term backup costs, especially for fast-growing organizations or those with large user bases.
