DescriptionItem
Source or destination is a share on a Windows computer.
Incremental backups with this protocol use time stamps to determine whether
files should be backed up.
Windows/NAS (Times-
tamp)
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.
Windows (Archive Bit)
Source or destination is an FTP site or a path from that site.FTP
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.
NFS
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 server
Source or destination is accessed using an Rsync server.
Rsync data transfers to go through a secure, encrypted SSH tunnel. NETGEAR
recommends using remote SSH when backups are being transferred over the
Internet.

7. In the Host field, enter the remote host name.
8. In the Path field, enter the folder path, according to the following:
•If you select a Windows protocol, use a forward slash (/) to separate directories, for example, enter
one of the following:
/<share name>/<folder name>
•If you select the FTP protocol and you want to specify an absolute path, start with a forward slash
(/). Otherwise the first character cannot be a forward slash. For example:
•<relative path>
•/<absolute path>
•If you select the NFS protocol, specify the export point followed by the path, for example:
/<export point>/path
•If you select the Rsync server protocol, specify the module name followed by the path, for example:
<module name>/path
