Data Backup and Archival

AFFORDABLE SCALABILITY
TrueNAS® offers the perfect range of features and scalability to reduce TCO for data backup, disaster recovery, and archive. Whether you’re a small business, school, or enterprise, there is a TrueNAS resilient storage solution that fits.

HIGH-SPEED BACKUP AND RECOVERY
Flexible interconnects from 1 to 100GbE provide maximum bandwidth and simple integration via iSCSI, SMB or NFS into existing environments. Design your systems to meet your disaster recovery objectives (RPO/RTO).
COST-EFFECTIVE SCALING
Grow a single system from 10 TB to 10 PB without purchasing additional controller nodes or expansion licenses. A single TrueNAS system can hold over 740 high-capacity disks. ZFS protection ensures you get capacity, speed, and redundancy without having to compromise.
BACKUP FLEXIBILITY
TrueNAS simplifies storage in any backup software environment, integrating with Asigra, CommVault, Nakivo, Veeam and many other backup software providers. Native ZFS replication can also be used to efficiently backup one NAS to a remote NAS, significantly reducing the data transferred between systems.
TRUSTED ARCHIVE
OpenZFS provides all the mechanisms for long-term, efficient, and secure retention of critical data. RAID-Z ensures pool protection and global spares. Data scrubbing and integrity checks safeguard against corruption. File system encryption and Self-Encrypting Drives provide security and compliance. Unlimited snapshots makes it easy to travel back in time and defeat ransomware.
BACK UP ANY DATA
Replicate Data for Simple Disaster Recovery
Automatically archive or share datasets to another TrueNAS system with scheduled sync and replication. ZFS replication is based on periodic snapshots which can be taken at a chosen interval. The remote system can be quickly converted into an active system if the primary site or system is down.

Built-in Cloud Storage
TrueNAS is great for protecting data and backups onsite. Storing important data offsite is also vital in your strategy to recover from a data disaster. Given its decentralized network, iX-Storj cloud storage is easy to configure and delivers incredible performance for hot backups with high multi-region availability.
Use Any Cloud for Backup
If you don’t have a second data center to back up to, TrueNAS includes the tools to back up your data to public or private clouds like Amazon S3, Azure, Backblaze B2, Box, and Google Cloud Storage. Pay for what you use with no upfront costs and no additional TrueNAS licenses.
