User Manual
4.7. Backup
When an external USB or eSATA hard disk is connected to your
LaCie d2 Network, you can perform manual, bidirectional backups
of your files. Copy files from your LaCie d2 Network to the external
disk, or from the external disk to the LaCie d2 Network.
IMPORTANT INFO:
In order to use an external drive to back
up the d2 Network, it must be formatted in one of the supported
systems: FAT32, FAT, NTFS, HFS+, EXT3, EXT2, REISERFS or XFS.
Note that you can reformat external drives to the XFS file system using
the d2 Network web interface. See
However, the following limitations apply: NTFS disks are read-only,
and FAT/FAT32 disks have file size limits (2GB and 4GB, respectively)
due to their file system limitations.
To back up files:
1. Connect an external USB or eSATA hard disk (see section
Connecting an External Hard
2. Log in to the LaCie d2 Network Administration Page (see section
4.1. Accessing the Administration
3. Click Backup > Add Task
4. Give the backup a name and set its frequency (once, daily,
weekly, or monthly) and time (if the backup is recurring)

5. Select a source folder (the folder to be backed up) and click
Next.
6. Select a destination folder (where the backed up files will be
located) and click Next.
