Chapter 10 Applications

The following figure illustrates how copying files works when you copy files from a USB device to the NSA. The same concept applies when you copy files from the NSA to a USB device.

Figure 132 Copying Files Example

Before Copy

USB

After Copy

USB

A BA B C

Both storage devices contain file A.

A copy of files A and B from the USB device is transferred to the NSA.

File A from the USB device replaces file A on the NSA.

10.11.11Synchronizing Files

Synchronization makes the contents on the target device identical to the ones on the source device. You can synchronize files from a USB device to the NSA or from the NSA to a USB device. In addition, you may also synchronize files in both directions simultaneously.

Press and hold the COPY/SYNC button until you hear a beep to synchronize files. See Section 10.10 on page 215 for details about configuring the synchronization settings.

USB -> NSA or USB <- NSA

When you synchronize files in one direction, contents on the source device replace the files on the target device.
