If you select a share or a USB device on the ReadyNAS, you can leave the path blank to
back up the entire share or device or enter a folder path to back up just the content of that
folder.
If you want to back up a remote source to the ReadyNAS, enter the remote host name,
the folder path, and any login credential required to access that path.
To ensure that you have the right access to the remote backup source, click Test
Connection after entering the source parameters.
Each file protocol uses a slightly different path notification, so refer to the following list for
the correct form. Notice that a forward slash (/) is used instead of a backslash (\) in all
instances. Depending on how your unit is configured, you are presented with several
backup source options:
•
Remote Windows/NAS (Timestamp). Backs up a share from a Windows PC.
Incremental backups use timestamps to determine whether files should be backed
up. Examples of a Windows or remote ReadyNAS path:
•
/myshare
•
/myshare/myfolder
•
Remote Windows/NAS (Archive Bit). Backs up a share from a Windows PC.
Incremental backups use the archive bit of files, similar to Windows, to determine if
they should be backed up. Examples of a Windows or remote ReadyNAS path:
•
/myshare
•
/myshare/myfolder
•
Remote Website. Backs up a website or a website directory. The backed-up files
include files in the default index file and all associated files, as well as all index file
links to web page image files. Examples of a web site path:
•
/myshare
•
/myshare/myfolder
•
Remote FTP Site. Backs up an FTP site or a path from that site. Examples of an FTP
path:
•
/myserver/mypath/mydir
•
/myserver/mypath/mydir/myfile
•
Remote NFS Server. Backs up from a Linux or UNIX server across NFS. Mac OS X
users can also use this option by setting up an NFS share from the console terminal.
Examples of an NFS path:
•
/mypath
•
/mypath/myfolder
