Aryson Email Backup Wizard vs Synology Active Backup for SaaS

Aryson Email Backup Wizard backs up or migrates mailbox data from web and cloud email accounts, saving messages and attachments to local or external drives. It supports more than 50 mailbox types, including Gmail, G Suite, Office 365, Yahoo Mail, iCloud, Zoho Mail and IMAP accounts. Export formats include PST, MSG, MBOX, EML, EMLX, HTML, PDF, CSV, RTF, XPS, DOCX and JPEG, among other document and image formats. Mail can also be moved directly to services such as Gmail, Office 365, Hotmail, iCloud Mail, Zoho Mail and Google Workspace. Batch Mode uses a CSV of account credentials to process multiple mailboxes; users can select folders, filter by date, preview items and skip duplicates. Further controls include splitting PST output and saving attachments separately or omitting them. The free version exports 50 emails per folder, while the full version removes that stated limit. Downloads are offered for Linux, macOS and Windows. A free plan and trial are listed; pricing starts at $119. Aryson lists free technical support 24x7.

Synology Active Backup for SaaS backs up Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace data to Synology NAS servers for recovery after data loss or service downtime. Microsoft 365 coverage includes OneDrive for Business, SharePoint Online, Exchange Online, and Teams. Google Workspace coverage includes Drive, Gmail, Contacts, and Calendar, including shared drives, labels, and attachments. Microsoft 365 backups can run continuously, manually, or on a schedule; continuous intervals adjust from one to ten minutes based on detected API request rates. Both services support file versioning, and Google Workspace versions can be retained for a chosen period or kept in full. The Microsoft 365 Recovery Portal lets administrators and employees restore or export backed-up data, with self-service access dependent on configuration. The product is a free add-on for a compatible Synology NAS, with unlimited accounts subject to NAS storage capacity. Active Backup for Microsoft 365 requires DSM 6.1-15217 or later. Deduplication requires an x64 NAS using Btrfs, and neither service supports secondary backups. Google Workspace setup requires configuring the Drive SDK API and creating a service key.
