• Replication can also be used to copy all data from a share to a share on an attached external drive. Format
the drive with ext3 or XFS before using it for replication. Drives with FAT32 partitions are not supported with
replication.
• You can select the first and second levels of shared folders and USB drives connected to the TeraStation as
the replication source. Folders whose names contain more than 80 alphanumeric characters or "@" cannot be
selected.
As the replication destination, you can select the first level of shared folders, USB drives, and on/off-subnet NAS
devices' shared folders.
• Don't use the same TeraStation for both failover and replication, or replication and Time Machine.
• Don't configure replication from one source folder to multiple destination folders.
• If a network problem causes a replication error, unsynced data may be shown as "0" even though replication is
incomplete. Click Resync to recover from the replication error. All files from the source folder will be copied to the
destination folder.
• To inherit the subfolders' access restriction settings to the replication destination, the replication destination
should also support the subfolders' access restrictions. Verify it before creating a replication job.
