Windows Vista; File Backup; Nsync; Adding An Nsync Task - Thecus IP Storage Server N8800 User Manual

Windows Vista

Because Windows Vista has the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator pre-installed, you will not
have to install this piece of software. Instead, start the iSCSI Initiator and follow
steps 8-14 to map the N8800 as an iSCSI drive.

File Backup

There are a number of ways to back up data with the N8800.

Nsync

You can backup a share folder to another N8800 (Nsync Target) or any FTP
server for safe keeping as long as you have appropriate access right on that
target. When using Nsync between two N8800s, you have the option to transmit
files securely between two N8800s.
If the files on your N8800 are lost for any reason, you can restore those files from
the target N8800. To backup files regularly, you can set up a scheduled task to
run only once, daily, weekly, or monthly. You can also limit the bandwidth of your
Nsync tasks, so other users on the network can share the bandwidth equally.
Under the Storage menu, click Nsync and the Nsync window appears. Below is
a description of each field:
