(Optional) Click the
Test Connection
button to determine if your ReadyNAS system can
access the remote destination.
In the left pane, the status LED icon for this job changes from gray to red or green to
indicate test results. Red indicates connection failure and green indicates connection
success.

In the Backup Schedule section, clear the
Enabled
check box.
Clearing this check box forces the recovery procedure to be started manually, which
ensures that the recovery job does not happen automatically.
WARNING!
To ensure the integrity of the data stored on your primary device,
never schedule a recovery job to run automatically.

(Optional) In the Backup Options section, adjust option settings.
a.
From the Schedule full backup
drop-down menu, select
Every Time
.
b.
From the On completion send drop-down menu, select what type of logs to send
when the recovery job finishes.
You can send a log that lists only errors during recovery, full logs consisting of file
listings (can be large), or status and errors (status refers to completion status).
Log email messages are restricted to approximately 10,000 lines. For more
information about viewing full logs, see

c.
Ensure that the
Remove the contents of the backup destination
check box is
clear.
Selecting this check box erases the destination path contents before the backup is
performed, which NETGEAR does not recommend for recovery jobs.
WARNING!
When using this option, ensure that you have correctly identified
your backup source and backup destination. If you reverse them,
you might permanently delete your source files. NETGEAR
recommends not enabling this option unless your destination
device is very low on storage space.
Best practice is to experiment with this option using a test share to make sure that you
understand how it works.
