Buffalo LinkStation 200 Series, User Manual

Page: 82 / 142

Notes:
• You may leave this field blank if you do not want a backup password, but for security reasons we highly
recommend entering one for the shared folder. If a backup password is configured for the shared folder,
that folder will not show up as a target for the backup source or destination when configuring a backup job
on another Buffalo NAS device unless it’s entered. You may create multiple folders using different backup
passwords for backup, but only one password can be used on the LinkStation. Folders that are configured
with a different password cannot be used.
• A backup password is not available when a new shared folder is created by a power user.
Note: If you want to back up to a Buffalo NAS device on another network, follow the procedure below to add the
Buffalo NAS device so it can be used as a backup destination.
(1) From the Backup Job Settings screen, click
LinkStation and TeraStation List .
(2) Click Add ; enter the IP address or hostname/FQDN of the destination Buffalo NAS device, then click OK .
(3) Click Close when finished.
(4) Click Refresh and make sure the desired Buffalo NAS device has been added to the list.
Configuring a Backup Job
You can configure backup jobs by using another shared folder on the Buffalo NAS device or a USB drive connected
to the LinkStation as a destination. You can also back up to a Buffalo NAS device on another network as long as the
two networks are connected by a VPN or the route is configured properly.
