Click OK, then click OK again. The backup job will be added to the backup jobs list.
Notes:
• Up to eight backup jobs can be configured at a time, and twenty-five backup source and destination folder pairs
can be used in one backup job.
• To inherit the subfolders' access restriction settings to the backup destination, the backup destination should also
support the subfolders' access restrictions. Check it before creating a backup job.
• To back up data between Buffalo NAS devices on a network using jumbo frames, make sure that both devices are
configured to use identical (or similar) MTU sizes. If MTU sizes are significantly different, the backup job may not
be properly performed. In such a case, select the default MTU size (1500 bytes) for both devices.
• You can also specify a hostname by a fully qualified domain name (FQDN).
• Windows-based TeraStations with multibyte characters in the hostname may not be detected as a backup
destination, and folders in these devices cannot be used as backup destination folders.
• Backup data, such as ".DS_Store" files, from macOS may include characters that cannot be read on FAT32-
formatted drives in its filename. For best results, reformat the drive before using it as a backup destination.

If Backing Up from rsync-Compatible Devices to the TeraStation

If you want to set an rsync-compatible device as the backup source and back up data on the rsync-compatible
device to the TeraStation, you will need to enable rsync access on the TeraStation.
