or the built-in LDAP service.
Centralize backup, restoration and synchronization with Hybrid Backup
Sync
Hybrid Backup Sync consolidates backup, restoration and synchronization
functions into a single QTS application for you to easily transfer your data to
local or remote QNAP NAS, to remote servers and to cloud storage spaces as a
comprehensive data storage and disaster recovery plan. You can synchronize files
between the TS-251A and cloud storage in real time - including Amazon Drive,
Google Drive, Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive, Yandex Disk, and Box, and back up
files to Amazon S3, Amazon Glacier, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Storage,
OpenStack Swift and WebDAV cloud services. Hybrid Backup Sync can detect sparse
files to avoid backing up unnecessary data, and supports file compression to
save storage space. There are flexible settings for concurrent file processing
and multi-threaded data transfer by splitting large files into smaller parts,
greatly increasing the file transfer rate for greater work efficiency.
Restore files with Snapshot for Volume & LUN
QTS Storage Manager features an easy-to-use web-based snapshot tool to easily
backup and restore data on the TS-251A back to any point of time in the event of
data loss. You can take snapshots for volumes and LUN (up to 64 snapshots per
volume/LUN and maximum 256 snapshots per NAS), efficiently replicate volume/LUN
snapshots via Snapshot Replica to remote servers by copying only the changes
made, and quickly clone a volume /LUN snapshot as a local volume without
interrupting current system operations. You can even set up the system to
automatically take a snapshot of the volume before backup via RTRR/rsync, even
if files are opened.
Qsirch - a smarter, faster way to search
The TS-251A supports Qsirch, a proprietary search engine for quick file
searching. In addition to previewing thumbnails, content abstract and keyword
hints, Qsirch allows you to search through all of the .eml files stored on the
TS-251A and use customized search criteria* such as date, size, sender and
recipient. Qsirch even remembers your search history allowing you to quickly
navigate to files you've previously searched for. You can also use the Google
Chromeâ„¢ extension - Qsirch Helper - to search for files on your NAS when using
Google Searchâ„¢. Qsirch is a huge productivity boost that greatly reduces the
time spent looking for files on the NAS, allowing you to focus on other
tasks.
QmailAgent: a mailroom center for your private cloud
QmailAgent is an online email client that helps you manage multiple email
accounts, allowing you to access all of your emails and to easily switch between
different accounts. It provides complete functionality for composing, reading
and organizing emails. You can even attach files, photos and documents from the
TS-251A when composing emails. QmailAgent also allows iOS® and Android™ users to
quickly check multiple email accounts with mobile devices, and to browse &
send emails using the QmailAgent on their TS-251A. You can also use QmailAgent
together with Qsirch, which supports powerful email search functions to search
through all of the .eml files stored on the TS-251A to make managing and
searching through massive quantities of emails much easier.

network-based JBOD that allows you to expand the storage of a QNAP NAS by using
unused storage from other QNAP NAS units. You can mount this storage space to
the TS-251A as virtual disks and create virtual storage pools and volumes for
NAS functions such as creating and reverting snapshots, indexing multimedia
files into the media library, and even creating iSCSI LUNs. VJBOD supports
10GbE/40GbE connections and port trunking (link aggregation with multiple LAN
ports) that increase the performance and reliability of your VJBOD storage
Connect a QNAP expansion enclosure to expand storage capacity
easily
The TS-251A supports online capacity expansion for archiving rapidly-growing
data by connecting a QNAP expansion enclosure. With the QNAP scale-up solution,
the raw storage capacity can be expanded on demand, making the TS-251A an ideal
file center with large storage capacity, especially useful for data-intensive
applications.
With the support of QJBOD Express (JBOD enclosures roaming)*, you can just
connect a large capacity QNAP expansion enclosure to the TS-251A, and migrate
data to another NAS through the JBOD enclosure without needing a network
connection.
