Configuring A Backup Job - Buffalo TeraStation TS5210DN User Manual

6
Enter the desired characters into the backup device access key field and click OK.
Note: You may leave this field blank if you do not want a backup device access key, but for security reasons
we highly recommend entering one for the shared folder. If a backup device access key is configured for the
shared folder, that folder will not show up as a target for the backup source or destination when configuring a
backup job on another Buffalo NAS device unless it's entered. You may create multiple folders using different
backup device access keys for backup and replication, but only one access key can be used on the TeraStation.
Folders that are configured with a different access key cannot be used.

Configuring a Backup Job

You can configure backup jobs by using another shared folder on the Buffalo NAS device or a USB drive connected
to the TeraStation as a destination. You can also back up to a Buffalo NAS device on another network as long as the
two networks are connected by a VPN or the route is configured properly.
Note: To back up the subfolders' access restriction settings, the USB drive should be formatted by ext3 or XFS.
