Synology Active Backup for Business Agent
Synology Active Backup for Business Agent is a client-side backup utility from Synology, the Taiwan-based NAS manufacturer. It runs on individual macOS computers (and Windows/Linux machines) and manages incremental or full backups to Synology NAS devices or cloud storage. The agent monitors the device, schedules automated backups, detects changes efficiently, and communicates backup status to the central Active Backup for Business server running on the NAS. It is typically used by small and medium businesses that want to protect endpoint data without relying on third-party cloud backup services.

1 suggestionThe latest versions of Synology Active Backup for Business Agent appear to be actively maintained by Synology, with recent releases available in the Synology archive download repository. To determine whether a native Apple Silicon build is available for your Mac, visit Synology's official download page for Active Backup for Business Agent and check the system requirements for the latest version. If only an Intel build is listed, contact Synology support to inquire about native Apple Silicon availability or check back with the vendor, as enterprise backup software often sees less public communication about architecture transitions than consumer apps. In the meantime, the Intel version will continue to run under Rosetta 2 on M-series Macs.
