ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition User Guide
Step 2 – Select Backup Destination
The Step 2 process is almost identical to Step 1 except that you are now specifying the backup destination. If you selected a remote backup source, you need to select a public or a private home share on the ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition (either the source or destination must be local to the ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition). If you selected a ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition share for the source, you can either enter another local ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition share for the destination, or you can specify a remote backup destination.
Figure
The remote backup destination can be a Windows PC/ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition system, an NFS server, or a rsync server. Note that you can select rsync for a remote ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition if it is configured to serve data over rsync.
Step 3 – Choose Backup Schedule
You can select a backup schedule as frequently as once every 4 hours daily or just once a week. The backup schedule is offset by 5 minutes from the hour to allow you to schedule snapshots on the hour (snapshots are almost instantaneous) and perform backups of those snapshots (see “Snapshots” on page
Note: Backup jobs cannot go past midnight to the next day. Set a backup job start stop time that does not traverse midnight.
If you wish, you can elect not to schedule the backup job so that you can invoke it manually instead by clearing (deselecting) the Perform backup every... check box. (You might want to do this if your ReadyNAS has a backup button.)
