Configuring Your ReadyNAS 1-45
v1.0, October 2007
My Documents/My Pictures
With a remote source, you might need to enter a login and password to access the share. If you are
accessing a password-protected share on a remote ReadyNAS server configured for Share security
mode, enter the name of the share name for login.
To make sure that you have proper access to the backup source, click Test Connection before
continuing.
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 (either the source or destination must be local to the ReadyNAS). If you
selected a ReadyNAS share for the source, you can either enter another local ReadyNAS share for
the destination, or you can specify a remote backup destination.
The remote backup destination can be a Windows PC/ReadyNAS system, an NFS server, or a
rsync server. Note that you can select rsync for a remote ReadyNAS 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 1-28 to set up a snapshot schedule).
