File Backup

There are a number of ways to back up your data to your N199.

Nsync

You can backup a share folder to another N199 (Nsync Target) or any FTP server for safe keeping as long as you have appropriate access right on that target. When using Nsync between two N199s, you have the option to transmit files securely between two N199s.

If the files on your N199 are lost for any reason, you can restore those

files from the target N199. To backup files regularly, you can set up a scheduled task to run only once, daily, weekly, or monthly. You can also limit the bandwidth of your Nsync tasks, so other users on the network can share the bandwidth equally.

Under the Storage menu, click Nsync and the Nsync window appears. Below is a description of each field:
