Click Add.

Select the shared folder that will be the backup source and destination.

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.
• During setup, you may choose to encrypt and/or compress backup 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. Enabling either will increase the CPU load on the source TeraStation so that
the transfer speed will become slower, and backup time will be slower than if they are disabled. Encrypted or
compressed data will be decrypted or decompressed on the destination TeraStation.
• 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.
• You can specify the LAN port to use for backup such as "(LAN3)". However, if you connect two or more LAN
ports to the same network, the faster LAN port will take priority even if you specify the LAN port to be used. For
example, if both LAN port 1 and LAN port 3 are connected to the same network and LAN port 3 is faster, then that
port will be used even if you had configured LAN port 1 to be the port used for backups.
To use a slower LAN port for backup in this environment, configure the LAN port settings to a different network
segment.
