Block – level local snapshot and snapshot replica — An ecient and economical
way to protect les
QNAP’s Whole Volume/LUN Snapshot Agent records the status of les using the Copy on Write mechanism. This helps in recovering les to
a previously saved state in case of accidental deletion or modication and meeting enterprise requirements of improving Recovery Point
Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO).

File-level recovery
The low-impact, small-sized, and user recoverable snapshots offer more benefits of storage
administration compared to traditional le copies, which are often stored as a single large data le. For
instance, you can choose to recover a le in a folder or the entire folder instantly with a few clicks.
The block-based QNAP Snapshot Technology
supports up to 256 snapshots for each volume
or LUN, up to 1024 snapshots. You can schedule
snapshots hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or
yearly to meet enterprise requirements of
improving Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and
Recovery Time Objective (RTO). Further, the
smart snapshot function can assist in saving
space and reserve snapshots for future use.
Additionally, Snapshot Agent ensures data
integrity on locked or open les while taking
snapshots.
