Creating An Archive Backup - ZyXEL Communications NAS Series User Manual

Schedule backups for times when the network is not busy (like at night or on weekends). For
example, you might do daily backups of important individual files or folders and a weekly general
archive. You can save backups to another location so your files can survive even if the original RAID
or NAS fails.

14.14.1 Creating an Archive Backup

To backup the NAS every week to a remote NAS:
Click Protect > Backup > Add Job.
1
Figure 93 Protect > Backup
Identify the backup job and select Archive.

New files are often added to the shares that you need to back up and existing files are not
frequently changed so select Incremental. The NAS does a full backup first and later only copies
source files that are new and/or modified since the last backup. This example sets the NAS to do
another full backup after every four incremental backups.
