Setting
Description
Encrypt transfer
QTS encrypts the snapshot before replicating it.
• The job must be run by the NAS admin user
• The port used by this job must be the same as
the SSH port on the destination NAS
Compress transfer
QTS compresses snapshots when replicating them.
This consumes more CPU and system memory, but
reduces the amount of bandwidth required.
Tip
Enable this setting in low bandwidth
networks, or if the NAS devices are
connected through a WAN.
Maximum transfer speed
Limits how much network bandwidth this job uses

Optional: Export the source data to an external storage device.
To save time and bandwidth, you can export the source data to a connected external storage device
such as a USB disk. After connecting the external storage device to the destination NAS, QTS will
import the source data when the job is next run.
