Step 1 – Select Backup Source

The backup source can be located remotely, or it can be a public or a private home share, or all home shares on the ReadyNAS.

A USB device appears as a share, so if you want to back up a USB device, select a share name. If you want to back up data from a remote source, select from one of the following:

Windows/NAS (Timestamp). Select this if you wish to back up a share from a Windows PC. Incremental backups use timestamps to determine whether files should be backed up.

Windows/NAS (Archive Bit). Select this if you wish to back up a share from a Windows PC. Incremental backups use the archive bit of files, similar to Windows, to determine whether they should be backed up.

Website. Select this if you wish to back up a website or a website directory. The backed up files include files in the default index file and all associated files, as well as all index file links to web page image files.

FTP site. Select this if you wish to back up an FTP site or a path from that site.

NFS server. Select this option if you wish to back up from a Linux or UNIX server across NFS. Mac OS X users can also use this option by setting up a NFS share from the console terminal.
