Data backup/disaster recovery
The QTS allows data on PCs, servers, virtual machines, and external drives to be backed up to the Turbo NAS;
and provides disaster recovery solutions to back up data on the Turbo NAS to external devices or remote
servers.
Backup Center
Backup from computer to NAS
> PC backup
Windows users can install the free QNAP NetBak Replicator
utility to back up files from Windows PC - entire disk drives,
documents, pictures, music, videos, fonts, emails, and more - to
one or multiple Turbo NAS units.
With simple clicks, you can set up real-time backup, scheduled
backup and auto-backup. You can set power off after the backup
is finished to save energy; file filtering to exclude files not to back
up; and email notification when backup is completed.

Mac users can use the Mac Time Machine to back up data to the
Turbo NAS. You only need to set the Turbo NAS as the backup
destination on the Time Machine management page, and it’s done.
