Recover Data to a Network-Attached Device
You can use Dashboard to create jobs to restore data that you previously backed up to your
ReadyNAS device to another network-attached device. Before you can recover data, you
must first back it up.
The following figure illustrates this process.

WARNING!
Although this is a recovery procedure, your ReadyNAS system
treats it like a backup job. This means that you use Dashboard
screens labeled backup and you reverse the source and
destination systems you used when you backed up the data that
you are recovering.
By default, all backup jobs are scheduled to automatically run every day. You can edit these
settings after you create each backup job. For more information, see
page 96.
Backup and recovery jobs using Time Machine require different procedures. For more
