Enter the desired characters into the remote backup password field and click OK .
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 backup 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.
Configuring a Backup Job
You can configure backup jobs by using a shared folder 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.
