4.3 Setting Up an Nsync Target on Another Device
If you selected “Other Device” when setting up your Nsync task, the MaxNAS will use the
FTP protocol to back up the share folder. On the external storage device, make sure there is
a folder named “nsync”, and the Auth ID has writable permission in that folder.
4.4 Designating MaxNAS or PlatinumRAID as an Nsync Target
The MaxNAS can act as an Nsync server, enabling another Nsync-equipped MicroNet NAS at
a remote location backup their files to your MaxNAS. From the Network menu, choose the
Nsync Target item, and the Nsync Target Server Setting screen appears. Enable the service
and click OK .
