Chapter 5 Backup
◦ Shared folder on another Buffalo NAS device*, **
◦ The iSCSI file I/O volume on the backup source TeraStation*
• Folders available as backup destinations:
◦ Shared folder on the backup source TeraStation*, **
◦ Shared folder on another Buffalo NAS device*, **, ***
◦ The iSCSI file I/O volume on the backup source TeraStation*
*The folders should be created on a Btrfs-formatted area.
**The folder should have the "Backup" checkbox selected under "LAN Protocol Support" on the shared folder
settings.
***If the "Inherit subfolders' access restrictions" option is selected when creating a backup job, the device should be
a Buffalo NAS device whose subfolders' access restrictions is available.
Notes:
• The number of snapshots kept after backing up to the backup destination will vary depending on the auto-
archive settings. If the backup snapshot versions are later than the versions on the backup destination, they will
overwrite the earlier snapshot versions.
• If you select a shared folder as a backup source, only an iSCSI volume can be selected as a backup destination and
vice versa. The same type of folders cannot be used in an iSCSI backup job.
Preparing a Backup Destination
Configure a shared folder on a Buffalo NAS device or connected USB drive as a backup destination. The following
procedure explains using another shared folder on the TeraStation as a backup destination. The procedure may vary
depending on which Buffalo NAS device is selected as a destination. If using a USB drive as a backup destination,
make sure its attribute is set to read and write. To change a read-only USB drive's attribute to read and write, refer to
the
"Read-Only Shares"
section in chapter 3.
If you would like to back up data from multiple backup sources, we recommend not using the same backup
destination, as data in the backup destination may be overwritten by subsequent backup jobs. If you must back up
data from multiple backup sources to the same backup destination, using management backup is recommended
for precise version control.
Note: If you want to set this TeraStation as the backup destination for an rsync-compatible device, refer to the
Backing Up from rsync-Compatible Devices to the TeraStation"
