Select a Location on Your ReadyNAS System
Select a backup source or destination on your ReadyNAS system.You have the following
options:
• Share . Each share is listed in the source and destination drop-down lists by name.
• Volume . Each volume is listed in the source and destination drop-down lists by name. If
you are using X-RAID, your ReadyNAS system has only one volume, C. When you
choose a volume as a backup source, all shares, private home shares, and hidden
shares in the volume are backed up, each to a separate folder on the destination.
You cannot choose a volume as a backup destination. Instead, choose a share on the
volume.
