The smaller the backup file size, the faster the transfer
Ease your backup nightmares:
QNAP HBS3 with the new feature, QuDedup, provides a highly efficient yet cost-effective backup and disaster recovery solution for any sized business. QuDedup, the source-based data deduplication, reduces the required storage capacity and accelerates transfer of multi-versioning backups even in an environment with limited bandwidth.
HBS 3
The more data to back up, more time is required. This can lead to backup jobs taking multiple hours to complete - sometimes requiring overnight processing - without factoring in the multiple backup versions required for disaster recovery purposes. QNAP now introduces HBS 3, which adds support for QuDedup technology that eliminates redundant data at the source and then backs up the deduplicated data. It helps ease your worries about insufficient time and storage, and reinforces your backup plan with greater efficiency and reliability.
-
Worry #1:
Every part of your organization generates lots of files everyday and makes multiple revisions to existing files. The number of new and revised files can be overwhelming.
-
Worry #2:
You schedule backup tasks during non-working hours, but sometimes a full night is not enough and the NAS needs to perform normal operations during working hours. This also leads to incomplete backup versions.
-
Worry #3:
With the demands of newly-created files and the space required to back up these files, your organization faces challenges of insufficient storage space.
QuDedup eases backup nightmares and strengthens your 3-2-1 backup strategy
Keeping just one backup version may not be enough to safeguard your data. To increase your chances of recovering lost or corrupted data, you should follow the 3-2-1 rule: Keep 3 copies of important files, keep the files on at least 2 types of storage media, and store 1 copy off-site. Check how HBS can help you realize a comprehensive 3-2-1 backup plan.
-
First backup – save storage
QuDedup technology deduplicates backup data at the source to reduce the backup data size by up to 75%. The initial deduplication process may take some time, but the deduplicated data makes future backup tasks much faster!

Second backup – save time
Follow the 3-2-1 backup rule, and save the second backup of your files to a remote site. As the backup size is only 25% of the original size, you save time on running backup tasks - allowing you to copy this backup to multiple locations and accelerate multi-version backups for greater protection against data loss.

Cloud backup – save time and storage
HBS 3 fulfills your needs for hybrid cloud backup. It supports the TCP BBR algorithm for congestion control to greatly improve extranet data transfer speeds. Your Internet just got faster so backing up NAS-based files to the cloud becomes much more efficient.

Easily preview and restore deduplicated files with QuDedup Extract Tool
Instantly restore backed-up QuDedup files in remote or cloud storage locations with the QuDedup Extract Tool or File Station for greater management efficiency.
-
Take TB-level files on-the-go with QDFF file compression
QuDedup supports block-level deduplication and data encryption on client devices. The deduplicated data is packaged and converted into an unpreviewable QNAP deduplication file format (.QDFF) and stored in the default QDFF folder. Deduplicated QDFF files are incredibly small and can be easily saved on portable-storage devices. (For example, a 10 TB file can be compressed into 1 TB - 2.5 TB.)
-
Restore QDFF files across platforms with the QuDedup Extract Tool
You can install the QuDedup Extract Tool on your computer (Windows®, Mac® or Linux®/Ubuntu®) and restore QDFF files downloaded from a remote NAS or cloud to their normal state. You can also preview deduplicated QDFF files and restore them with File Station. Cross-platform connectivity across NAS devices, computers, and the cloud makes file restoration more convenient.

Portable, visible, and flexible to restore
The QuDedup Extract Tool allows you to preview the differences in each version of a deduplicated file. You can select single or multiple files and folders to restore. You can also install the QuDedup Extract Tool on cloud storage for previewing backed-up and deduplicated files - greatly reducing cloud data transfer costs.
Note: Your experience of HBS 3 with QuDedup may vary due to your file types, storage environment, and network environment.
Tip 1: QuDedup is not recommended for use with video files. In this case, it is recommended to use snapshots with Snapshot Replica to maximize backup efficiency. Learn more » Snapshot
Tip 2: QuDedup is especially useful and provides significant storage savings for datasets containing highly-repetitive data (such as virtual machines and ISO images).
