Job Status
You can review or monitor the status of the backup or restore job.
Note:
1. The SCSI tape drive has to be properly connected and turned on
before starting the system, or it will not be detected.
2. The HVD (High Voltage Differential) SCSI tape drive is not
supported by this system.
• Remote Replication
When you want to replicate the local files to the remote folder on another
GNS-8000A, the remote replication function allows you to perform this job
with ease. You can perform immediate replication job or schedule a
replication job to be executed at the specified time periodically. In order to
reduce the network bandwidth usage as well as the time consumed, you can
select to compress the files before transferring them over the network.
-
Scheduled
You can schedule remote replication job every day, week, or month at a
particular time.
This option enables you to carry out real-time remote replication job.
Specify the source path, remote server, destination and port; files will be
backed up to a particular remote folder when the job is executed.
-
Real-time
This function makes real-time remote replication possible. Once the local
client and the remote server are set up probably, files copied to the
specific local folders will be replicated immediately to the corresponding
remote folder. The replicating process has been optimized. Therefore,
only different part of a file is copied. When a local file is removed, the file
on the destination folder will also be removed.
-
Server Setup
A real-time remote replication server can accept specific client connections,
and makes a duplicate of the client data. To make this server a real-time
remote replication server, you have to set up the server first.
Note:
1. Before using this function, make sure Microsoft network service of
remote GNS-8000A has been enabled. Check that the replication path
is correct and the user account is authorized for accessing the remote
server.
2. Do not enter the same IP address for “Remote Host Name / IP” and
“Local Source Path”, i.e. do not use the same host name or IP address
for the source and destination of remote replication.)
