BACKUP
The Backup page helps the administrator and users configure Backup and Restore Jobs of data stored on the
LaCie NAS. A job configured on the Backup page can be:
One-time and/or manual backups.
An automated backup that runs daily, weekly, or monthly.
A restore of all or select files from a backup.
The Backup page features a Backup & Restore Wizard to guide you through the setup. Types of backup for
public and private folders:
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. When you back up files to a DAS, the system keeps up to 10 copies of the backup job. 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 deleted or made revisions to a document and you wish to recover it
or revert to 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 Backup (Local Network): A folder on the LaCie NAS to a folder on a second LaCie
network attached storage (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 Backup (Offsite): A folder on the LaCie NAS to a folder on a second LaCie network
attached storage (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.
Backup Examples:
Remote Local Backup: To prevent data loss due to hardware failure, you schedule regular backups of the LaCie
2big NAS to a LaCie 5big NAS Pro. They are both on the same local network. See
details on non-LaCie servers that are rsync-compatible.
Remote Offsite Backup: To prevent data loss due to drive failure, fire, flood, or theft, you wish to back up folders
