Manage Sync Tasks

After Shared Folder Sync service is enabled on the server (destination DiskStation), you can log in to a client (source DiskStation) to perform Shared Folder Sync with the server.

To create a sync task:

1On the client (source DiskStation), log in to DSM with the credentials of admin or a user belonging to the administrators group.

2Go to Main Menu > Backup and Restore, and then click the Shared Folder Sync tab.

3Click Create.

4Enter a name for the task.

5Select the shared folder you want to sync to the destination.

6Set up the destination and the following transfer options of this sync task:

Enable transfer encryption: Encrypt data during transfer. Encrypted transfer provides better security, while non-encrypted transfer provides better performance.

Enable transfer compression: Compress data during transfer. It will save network bandwidth but increase CPU loading.

Enable block-level synchronization: Transfer only differential data instead of whole files. It will save network bandwidth but increase CPU loading. Set up the destination and transfer options of this sync task.

7Set up schedule for the task. There are 3 schedule modes:

Periodically: Run sync task by specific interval of hours. The time starts counting from midnight. And the interval cannot exceed 24 hours.

Manually: Only run sync when manually performed.

Daily: Run sync task daily at specific time.

8Click Apply.

To edit or delete a sync task:

Select the task and click Edit or Delete.
