Configuring Backup Jobs

The Backup Manager integrated with the ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition allows the ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition to act as a powerful backup appliance. Backup tasks can be controlled directly from the ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition without the need for a client-based backup application.

With the flexibility to support incremental backups over CIFS/SMB, NFS, and rsync protocols, and full backups over FTP and HTTP protocols, the ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition can act as a simple central repository for both home and office environments. And with multiple ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition systems, you can set up one ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition to back up another directly.

Adding a New Backup Job
