NAS backup software is for protecting data associated with network-attached storage and planning how to restore it when needed. Compare backup direction and file and folder restore with coverage for databases and virtual machines. Immutable backups and retention limits can affect how you assess protection and recovery requirements; free plans and paid-from prices provide cost details. IDrive, Duplicacy and Storware Backup & Recovery are among the options shown. Consider which data types matter to your setup and what you may need to recover, then compare those needs with the backup and retention capabilities listed.
