8.4.6 Duplication
Duplication is a file level snapshot utility for making backups of your local filesystem.
Using Duplication, it is possible to take incremental snapshots of your filesystem at
different points in time. Duplication creates the illusion of having a multiple full backups
by using hard links, while only taking up the space of one full backup plus differences.
This saves much more disk space than one might image. The duplication files will be
directed to a share which you can access via share protocols or by telnet service.
Duplication can be invoked manually or by schedule.
Select the share folder in Share Manager then click “Edit” button.
Creating Duplication by Schedule
To create duplication by schedule, first set the number of total duplication that will be
created, specify which day to be run, set the time task whether by interval or once in a
specific time of day, set the destination path and then click “Save” button. Enable the
schedule by clicking on the "Enable Scheduled" button. To disable the scheduled
duplication, just click on the "Disable Scheduled" button.
