Setting Up an Nsync Target on an Nsync Device
On the Nsync target server, the administrator of that server has to set up a user
account with a folder named “nsync” and grant write access.
1.
On the Nsync server, add a user for Nsync source (ex. nsyncsource1). For
instructions on how to add a user on the ALL6800, see Chapter 4:
System Management > User and Groups Management > Local User
Configuration >
Adding Users
.
2.
On the Nsync server, grant that user (ex. nsyncsource1) write access to
the nsync folder. For instructions on how to set up a folder’s ACL, see
Chapter 4: System Management > Folder Management >
Folder
Access Control List (ACL)
.
3.
Once this is done, the target server will start accepting Nsync tasks from
server using that ID and password.
Setting Up an Nsync Target on Another Device
If you selected “Other Device” when setting up your Nsync task, the ALL6800 will
use the FTP protocol to back up the share folder. On the external storage device,
make sure there is a folder named “nsync”, and the Auth ID has writable
permission in that folder.
Designating ALL6800 as an Nsync Target
The ALL6800 can act as an Nsync server, enabling another Nsync-equipped
ALLNET NAS at a remote location backup their files to this ALL6800. From the
Network menu, choose the Nsync Target item, and the Nsync Target Server
