File Backup
There are a number of ways to back up data with the N8800.
Nsync
You can backup a share folder to another N8800 (Nsync Target) or any FTP server for safe keeping as long as you have appropriate access right on that target. When using Nsync between two N8800s, you have the option to transmit files securely between two N8800s.
If the files on your N8800 are lost for any reason, you can restore those files from the target N8800. To backup files regularly, you can set up a scheduled task to run only once, daily, weekly, or monthly. You can also limit the bandwidth of your Nsync tasks, so other users on the network can share the bandwidth equally.
Under the Storage menu, click Nsync and the Nsync window appears. Below is a description of each field:
