Adding Copy Jobs
1. On the Copy Jobs page, click . A Copy Job is added to the top of the list and the
Information section displays.
2. Enter a name for the Copy Job.
3. The Overwrite Setting determines what happens to files in the destination location if they
have the same name as those in the source location. Select one of the following values from
the Overwrite Setting drop-down menu:

Overwrite and don't delete — Files in the destination location are overwritten with
files from the source location. Any files in the destination location that are not in
the source location are preserved.

Overwrite and delete — Files in the destination location are overwritten with files
from the source location. Any files in the destination location that are not in the
source location are deleted. The destination location becomes an exact copy of the
source location.

Don't overwrite — Only files in the source location that are not in the destination
location are copied. No files are overwritten in the destination location.
From: Settings
1. In the From: section, click to select a source location. This is the location of the files you
want to copy. In the dialog, enter the Device Name or IP address in the text box, or select a
device from the list. If a connected device is not listed, click the
Refresh button.
2. Click OK to save your selection or click Cancel .
3. The Protocol drop-down menu displays if the source device is different from the device you are
currently accessing; for example, it could be a separate NAS device on your network. From the
Protocol drop-down menu, choose one of the following:

Windows File Sharing — The default value in the menu is Windows File Sharing and
in most cases you should accept the default value. For more information, refer to
Windows File Sharing .

rsync — The rsync protocol can provide faster copying, but may not be available on
all devices. If you are able to select the rsync protocol, and you want the rsync Copy
Job to be secure, select the
Use secure rsync (SSH) option. Enter the rsync
username and password for the rsync server to or from which you are copying. The
rsync username and password is set up on a different device than the device on
which you are creating the Copy Job. For more information on creating an rsync
user, refer to
rsync Server Settings .
