ReadyNAS OS 6.0

used when you backed up the data. The recovery source is the backup destination and the recovery destination is the backup source.

Secure Cloud Backups

A secure cloud backup lets you use online backup and recovery tools, such as ReadyNAS Vault, to save data over the Internet to a remote location and restore the data, if needed. For more information about backing up your data using ReadyNAS Vault, see ReadyNAS Vault on page 245.

Backup Protocols

When you back up data to a remote destination or recover it from a remote source, data is transferred over a network using file-sharing protocols.

You can select which protocol you want to use for the job. The options that are available to you depend on how your ReadyNAS system is configured. Backup protocols are described in the following table.

Table 12. Backup protocols

Item

Description

 

 

Windows/NAS (Timestamp)

Source or destination is a share on a Windows computer.

 

Incremental backups with this protocol use timestamps to determine whether files

 

should be backed up.

Windows (Archive Bit)

Source or destination is a share on a Windows computer.

 

Incremental backups with this protocol use the archive bit of files, similar to

 

Windows, to determine whether they should be backed up.

 

 

FTP

Source or destination is an FTP site or a path from that site.

 

 

NFS

Source or destination is on a Linux or UNIX device accessed using NFS.

 

Mac OS X users can also use this option by setting up an NFS share from the

 

console terminal.

Rsync server

Source or destination is accessed using an Rsync server.

 

Rsync was originally available for Linux and other UNIX-based operating systems,

 

but is also popular under Windows and Mac for its efficient use of incremental file

 

transfers. Using Rsync is the preferred backup method when backing up from one

 

ReadyNAS device to another.

Rsync over Remote SSH

Source or destination is accessed using an Rsync server.

 

Rsync data transfers to go through a secure, encrypted SSH tunnel. Using remote

 

SSH is recommended when backups are being transferred over the Internet.
