BACKUP JOBS

The Backup page features a Backup & Restore Wizard to help you create a backup job. Types of backup jobs
include:
Local (Direct-attached storage (DAS)):
Option 1: Share A on a LaCie NAS to an external hard drive (DAS) connected to one of the LaCie NAS's
external ports. Each iteration of a backup job has a specific date and time giving you the flexibility to
restore earlier versions of files. This can be helpful if someone has mistakenly deleted or made revisions to
a document and you want to recover an earlier version.
Option 2: Connect a DAS to one of your LaCie NAS's ports to back up the DAS's files to a share.
Remote network (local network): A share on the LaCie NAS to a share on a second LaCie NAS or
rsync-compatible NAS on your local network. For example, Share A on the LaCie 5big NAS Pro in your office to
a LaCie 2big NAS in your colleague's office.
Remote network (offsite): A share on the LaCie NAS to a share on a second LaCie NAS or rsync-compatible
NAS outside of your local network. For example, Share A on your LaCie 2big NAS in your home office to a LaCie
5big NAS Pro at a colleague's home office.
Restore: Restore a backup job from your DAS to the LaCie NAS or, the LaCie NAS to the DAS.
Note on backup jobs: To conserve processing resources, NAS OS runs one backup job at at time. If more
than one job is scheduled for the same time or started manually, the backup page will place them in a queue.
