A lot of people own a QNAP NAS for a simple reason: backup and data protection. But you need to back up too many devices: computers, servers, virtual machines, and even the NAS itself. How can you handle these sources with ease and a low total cost of ownership (TCO)?
Today, we will be introducing 5 QNAP NAS features that can help you achieve these goals:

Snapshot: record volume/LUN state and replicate to another NAS
Snapshots will record the state of a volume/LUN on the NAS. When needed, use the snapshot to restore the NAS to the previous point of time. This protects you from accidental overwriting and malware encryptions. You can use the snapshot replica feature in the combine, to back up snapshots to other devices. This will help you form a healthy backup plan for avoiding data loss.
