Select the shared folder that will be the backup source and destination.
Note: If you want to back up to a Buffalo NAS device on another network, follow the procedure below to add
the Buffalo NAS device on another network before selecting the backup folders.
a. Click List of Servers.
b. Click Add; select the "Add Buffalo NAS device" option, enter the IP address or hostname of the destination
Buffalo NAS device, then click OK. Make sure the desired Buffalo NAS device has been added to the list.
c. Click Close when finished.

Click OK, then click OK again. Jobs will be added to the backup list.
Notes:
• Up to 8 backup jobs can be configured at a time, and 25 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).
• 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 Modes
The following types of backup jobs may be selected:
Type
Normal backup
Files included
All files in the source will be backed up to the destination. You can specify
how many backup versions to keep from 1–400, or select "Unlimited" to keep
all backups until the drive is full. If a specific number of backup versions is
specified, the backup destination folder should be on the same TeraStation
that the backup job is configured from, or on an external USB drive attached
to that TeraStation.
