Before you choose
Match the platforms you use
Check support for Windows, Linux, macOS, web access, self-hosted deployments, and an API. Choose a tool that covers the systems you need to back up or manage.
Review free access and trials
The list records whether a product has a free plan, a free trial, or paid pricing. A free plan and a trial are different, so check the pricing note before choosing.
Check restore coverage
File and folder restore shows whether you can recover individual files or directories. Backup direction helps you match the source and destination used by your NAS setup.
Include virtual machines and databases
If your NAS stores virtual machines or databases, check those fields directly. A product can support file backup without covering these workloads.
Plan retention and immutability
Retention limits define how long backup versions remain available. Immutable backups help protect saved versions from changes, so compare both fields with your storage plan.
Check the licence model
The comparison identifies open-source status and pricing models. If you need to read or change the code, review the licence terms before adopting a tool.
Questions
What platforms appear in this NAS backup software list?
The comparison covers Windows, Linux, macOS, web access, self-hosted deployments, and API support.
Can I find NAS backup software with a free plan?
Yes. The list records free-plan availability alongside paid pricing and trial details.
Does the list include open-source software?
Open-source status is included as a comparison field, so you can identify products that publish their source code.
Can these tools back up virtual machines and databases?
Virtual machine backup and database backup are separate comparison fields. Check the entry for the workload you need.
Why do backup direction and restore support matter?
Backup direction shows how data moves between locations. File and folder restore indicates whether individual items can be recovered.
