4-4 Securing Your Data
v1.3, November 2008
Step 2 – Select Backup Destination
The Step 2 process is almost identical to Step 1 except that you are now specifying the backup
destination. If you selected a remote backup source, you need to select a public or a private home
share on the ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition (either the source or destination must be local to the
ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition). If you selected a ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition share for the
source, you can either enter another local ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition share for the
destination, or you can specify a remote backup destination.
The remote backup destination can be a Windows PC/ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition system, an
NFS server, or a rsync server. Note that you can select rsync for a remote ReadyNAS Pro Business
Edition if it is configured to serve data over rsync.
Step 3 – Choose Backup Schedule
You can select a backup schedule as frequently as once every 4 hours daily or just once a week.
The backup schedule is offset by 5 minutes from the hour to allow you to schedule snapshots on
the hour (snapshots are almost instantaneous) and perform backups of those snapshots (see
“Snapshots” on page 4-8 to set up a snapshot schedule).
If you wish, you can elect not to schedule the backup job so that you can invoke it manually
instead by clearing (deselecting) the Perform backup every... check box. (You might want to do
this if your ReadyNAS has a backup button.)

Note: Backup jobs cannot go past midnight to the next day. Set a backup job start stop
time that does not traverse midnight.
