Why Synology C2 Cloud Excels for Business Data Backups
Why You Should Consider Synology C2 Cloud for Your Backup Needs
Relying on local storage alone is no longer enough to protect business data. Hardware failures, ransomware, accidental deletion, and site-level disasters can instantly put your information at risk. Synology C2 Cloud is designed to solve this problem by providing secure, off-site backups that integrate tightly with Synology NAS and endpoint backup tools, giving businesses a simple way to build a modern, resilient backup strategy.
Whether you are an SMB or a growing enterprise, Synology C2 helps you move beyond ad-hoc backups and into a structured, cloud-enabled protection model.
A Backup-as-a-Service Platform Built for Simplicity
Synology C2 Cloud operates as a Backup as a Service (BaaS) platform, meaning you don’t need to deploy extra hardware or complex third-party systems just to get off-site protection. You simply connect your devices or Synology NAS to C2, define what to back up, and the platform handles secure data transfer and storage in the cloud.
Because it is part of the broader Synology ecosystem, C2 keeps management straightforward. You can configure and monitor backups using familiar Synology tools instead of juggling multiple portals and consoles. Explore Synology solutions with us.
Strong Security and Encryption by Design
When moving data to the cloud, security is a primary concern. Synology C2 is built with end-to-end security in mind:
Data is encrypted before it leaves your device and remains encrypted in the cloud.
Zero-knowledge style encryption means only you hold the key, helping protect privacy and confidentiality.
You can choose data center regions to align with latency and regulatory needs, such as North America or Europe.
This combination allows you to meet internal security policies and external compliance requirements while still gaining the benefits of cloud backup.
Seamless Integration with Synology NAS
If your business already uses Synology NAS, C2 Cloud is a natural extension of your infrastructure. Using tools like Hyper Backup and C2 Storage, you can send copies of NAS data to the cloud with minimal configuration effort.
Typical use cases include:
Offsite copies of critical shared folders and application data
Long-term archival of backups without consuming local disk space
Snapshot-based protection and versioning are stored safely in the cloud
This tight integration means your backup strategy feels like a single system, not a patchwork of different products.
Protecting Endpoints and SaaS Workloads
Synology C2 is not limited to NAS backups. With C2 Backup for Business, you can protect multiple types of workloads from a central platform:
Windows and Mac endpoints
Physical and some virtual servers
Microsoft 365 services such as Exchange Online, OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams
Consolidating endpoint and SaaS backups into Synology C2 allows you to standardize policies, retention, and reporting across your environment instead of managing separate tools for each platform.
Flexible Scheduling, Versioning, and Retention
A good backup platform must balance protection with cost and performance. Synology C2 gives you granular control over:
Backup schedules (daily, weekly, or event-based triggers)
Versioning and retention policies to keep the right number of historical copies
Deduplication and efficient transfer to keep bandwidth usage reasonable
This flexibility helps you match your RPO/RTO targets and regulatory requirements without overspending on unnecessary storage.
How Epis Technology Turns Synology C2 into a Complete Backup Strategy
Epis Technology helps businesses turn Synology C2 from “another cloud service” into a fully designed backup and recovery strategy. Rather than leaving you to guess at plans, retention, and security settings, Epis begins with a detailed assessment of your endpoints, servers, NAS systems, and SaaS workloads. Based on your risk tolerance and compliance needs, the team designs backup policies that combine on-premise Synology NAS with Synology C2 Cloud. Epis Technology then configures backup jobs, encryption, versioning, and monitoring, and performs restore tests so you know recovery works in practice. With Epis managing the environment, your Synology C2 deployment becomes a predictable, auditable, and resilient part of your overall IT infrastructure. Get expert help today.
Cost-Effective and Scalable for Growing Data
Because Synology C2 is priced primarily by storage capacity, you pay for the space you use rather than the number of devices or accounts.
This model offers several advantages:
Easy scaling as data volumes grow
Predictable costs for budget planning
Freedom to protect as many endpoints or accounts as required
You can start with a smaller plan and increase capacity as your backup footprint expands, without redesigning your environment.
A Key Piece of the 3-2-1 Backup Strategy
Synology C2 plays a critical role in implementing the widely recommended 3-2-1 backup strategy: three copies of your data, on two different media, with one stored offsite. By combining local Synology NAS storage with cloud copies in C2, you gain both fast on-premise restores and resilient offsite protection for true business continuity.
