Recover Data to Your ReadyNAS System
You can use Dashboard to create jobs to restore data that you previously backed up to
another network-attached device to your ReadyNAS storage system.
Before you can recover data, you must first back it up. For more information about backing up
data that you store on your ReadyNAS system, see
Back Up Data Stored On Your
ReadyNAS System
on page

WARNING!
Although this is a recovery procedure, your ReadyNAS system
treats it like a backup job. This means that you use Dashboard
screens labeled backup and you reverse the source and
destination systems you used when you backed up the data that
you are recovering.
By default, all backup jobs are scheduled to automatically run every day. You can edit these
settings after you create each backup job. For more information, see
Edit a Backup Job

Backup and recovery jobs using Time Machine require different procedures. For more
information, see
