Click OK, then Yes.
Notes:
• During setup, you may choose to encrypt and/or compress replication data. Encrypted data will be transferred
securely on the network. Compressed data will ease network loading and is recommended for slow or heavily
loaded network connections. Either will increase the CPU load on the source TeraStation. Encrypted and
compressed data will be decrypted and decompressed on the destination TeraStation.
• A maximum of 64 shared folders can be configured for replication.
• Replication can also be used to copy all data from a share to a share on an attached external drive. Format
the drive with ext3 or XFS before using it for replication. Drives with FAT32 partitions are not supported with
replication.
• You can select the first and second level of shared folders and USB drives connected to the TeraStation as the
replication source. Folders whose names contain more than 80 alphanumeric characters or "@" cannot be
selected.
As the replication destination, you can select the first level of shared folders, USB drives, and on/off-subnet NAS
devices' shared folders.
• Don't use the same TeraStation for both failover and replication, or replication and Time Machine.
• Don't configure replication from one source folder to multiple destination folders.
