What Synology does
Synology NAS devices provide local storage and back it with two different packages depending on what's being protected: HyperBackup for versioned, scheduled file/folder backup with offsite replication, and Active Backup for Business for full VM restore, instant VM restore and bare-metal recovery on top of file-level restore — the latter puts a Synology box within reach of small-scale virtualised environments, not just flat file storage. Compliance note: Synology storage hardware is not independently certified as GDPR, HIPAA or PDPA compliant on its own — compliance depends on how it's configured and operated as part of the overall system. For Sabah clients, PDPA-aligned configuration is what matters; HIPAA is a US healthcare regulation not directly relevant here.
