Chapter 5 Backup
The following example illustrates a scenario of when a snapshot is regularly created during 12:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
for every hour everyday and the default archive rule is used, for 24 hours, 7 days, 5 weeks, 6 months, and 0 years.
Current time: 31st, 11:59 p.m.

Snapshots created every hour between 12:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. today are kept by matching the hour-based rule.
One snapshot per day is also kept for the last seven days by matching the day-based rule. One snapshot on every
Monday is also kept for the last five weeks by matching the week-based rule. One snapshot on every first day of the
month is also kept for six months by matching the month-based rule. If you change the year-based rule from the
default settings, one snapshot on January 1st will also be kept for the specified years.
Backing Up Data on the TeraStation
You can back up the TeraStation folders to another shared folder on the same TeraStation, a connected USB drive, or
a shared folder on another Buffalo NAS device, either on the same network or on another network. For best results,
using a 10GbE port to connect a backup device is recommended.
