Notes:
• You can register up to the second level of subfolders. However, folders with more than 80
bytes(UTF-8) in their names cannot be selected.
• The backup destination device must be configured as a backup destination in advance in order to
select it.
• For best results, USB hard drives connected to the LinkStation for backup should be formatted
with XFS or EXT3. If a hard disk connected to LinkStation is formatted in FAT 32 or FAT 16, the
following restrictions apply:
You cannot back up more than 2 GB of data per file in FAT 16 and more than 4 GB of data per file
in FAT 32.
Files created by Mac OS X cannot be backed up, since they contains character not allowed by
FAT 32 or FAT 16.
• You must change the backup settings for backup if you format the hard drive after setting up
backup. If there is no shared folder at the destination, an error message will be displayed.
