7.2.4 External Backup
Ex te rna l Drive
The NAS supports real-time and scheduled data backup between the internal disks
volumes on the NAS and external USB/eSATA storage devices. To use this feature,
follow the steps below.
Note :
If an external storage device is encrypted by the NAS, make sure it is
unlocked in "External Device" > "External Storage" before creating any backup jobs.
1. Connect one or more external storage devices to the USB or eSATA (if available)
interfaces of the NAS.
2. Click "Create a new job".
3. When the wizard is shown, read the instructions carefully and click "Next".
4. Select the backup locations.
a. Select an external disk volume from the drop-down menu. The NAS supports
EXT3, EXT4, FAT, NTFS, and HFS+ file systems. The general information of the
storage device will be shown.
b. Select "Map this backup job to the volume ID only" to map the backup job to this
particular external storage device. The NAS will recognize the device and
execute the backup job according to the settings automatically every time it is
connected to the NAS via any USB/eSATA interface.
c. Select to back up the data from local disk volume to the external storage or vice
versa.
d. Click "Next".
5. Select the source and destination folders for backup. Then click "Add". Up to 5
folder pairs can be created. Click "Next".
Note :
Multiple partitions on the external storage device will be recognized as individual
disk volumes.
If a folder or its parent folder or child folder has been selected as the source or
destination in a folder pair of a backup job, the same folder cannot be selected
as the source or destination of another folder pair of the same backup job.
6. Choose between real-time and scheduled backup. Real-time backup copies files that
are new, changed, and renamed from the source folder to the target folder as soon
