Synology released ActiveProtect Manager 2.0, expanding backup coverage to EC2, Azure, Proxmox and Google Workspace, with AI anomaly detection and malware scanning coming in 2.1.

Synology launched ActiveProtect Manager 2.0 for its DP Series data protection appliances, adding platform coverage for Amazon EC2, Azure VM, Proxmox VE, Nutanix AHV and Google Workspace. The release introduces cross-platform recovery, expanded backup destinations including Azure Blob Storage, and volume-level software storage encryption. The upcoming 2.1 update will add AI/ML anomaly detection tracking change rates, mass deletions and entropy, plus pre-restore malware scanning using Microsoft Defender, Bitdefender and ESET with Auto Fallback to the last clean version.

Key facts
  • APM 2.0 adds protection for Amazon EC2, Azure VM, Proxmox VE, Nutanix AHV and Google Workspace
  • Cloud DR restores S3 or Azure Blob backups directly into EC2 or Azure VMs without on-prem hardware
  • Volume-level software encryption protects backup data at rest from drive theft
  • APM 2.1 will add AI anomaly detection with quarantine and pre-restore antivirus scanning
