Simple Backup
Superior hardware performance with an all-in-one Backup Solution to speed up backup/recovery tasks.

Multi-version snapshots mitigate ransomware threats
The TS-AI642 supports block-based snapshots that record the state of the system at any time. It helps protect data, which can be restored back to a specific point of time, greatly helping in mitigating the threat of ransomware.

Volume and LUN snapshots
Take snapshots in seconds and revert the entire volume/LUN back to a specific point in time to prevent loss of important data.

Instantly restore snapshots
Snapshot content can be quickly restored to a local NAS, or restored on a folder/file basis to a local/remote NAS or cloud storage. You can also conveniently view and restore snapshots from the client side.

Back up snapshots
Multiply data protection by backing up snapshot files! Replicate volume/LUN snapshots in the TS-AI642 to a remote NAS (Snapshot Replica) by copying only the changes made. This helps save time & bandwidth, and can be run manually or on a scheduled basis.

Host container applications
If you are curious about Docker or are a hobbyist developer, Container Station on the TS-AI642 integrates Docker lightweight virtualization technology, allowing you to run all kinds of self-contained applications. You can download apps from the built-in Docker Hub , including popular and fully-configured applications, and deploy them with just one click. From smart homes to multimedia applications, you can explore your creativity and bring containerized applications to life.

Besides Container Station, more apps (including tools for backup/sync, content management, communications, download, and entertainment) are available from the App Center. Simply click and install on-demand to further extend the functionality of your TS-AI642.
