Protecting Your Files with Network Backups
BlackArmor® NAS 110 User Guide 37
Protecting Your Files with Network Backups
You can set up NAS to NAS backup, where a permanent link is created between your
BlackArmor NAS 110 server and another server on your network, and automatic and
continuous backups of your BlackArmor NAS 110 server take place. These continuous
backups provide the best protection against data or device loss.
Use BlackArmor NAS 110 Manager to set up the network connection between the two
servers—the BlackArmor NAS 110 Client (where your BlackArmor NAS 110 users’ files are
stored) and the BlackArmor NAS 110 Server (where the copies, or replicas, of the files are
stored)—and begin the initial backup. You can then use BlackArmor NAS 110 Manager to
schedule recurring backups.
To back up from your BlackArmor® server to another server on your network, you first need
to enable the Backup Service.
1. Open BlackArmor NAS 110 Manager (see page 19).
2. In the menu bar, select Storage, then click Backup Manager.
3. In the Storage menu on the left side of the window, click Server Setting.
4. Click the check box beside Backup Service.
The authentication information displays. This information is used when restoring backed up
files.
5. Enter an authentication name and password for all aliases.
6. Select the storage volume.
