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.
