Chapter 4 Backup and Replication
If your network environment requires joining an Active Directory domain, use DFS replication. If joining the Active
Directory is not required, or if a Buffalo NAS device has been configured as the replication destination, using Buffalo
replication is recommended.
Before Using Replication
• For best results, use static IP addresses with the same subnet masks for both replication TeraStations (source and
destination). If on a VPN network, configure the network settings so that broadcast packets are not dropped.
• Setting the TeraStation on a 1000 Mbps or faster network is recommended.
• Up to five replication jobs can be created.
• Filenames and file paths that will be copied by replication should be within 170 characters. Files with filenames
that are longer than 170 characters may not be copied correctly.
Buffalo Replication
If using Buffalo TeraStations with Windows Storage Server installed as both the replication source and destination,
start from step 1. If using a different TeraStation as the replication destination, refer to that TeraStation's user manual
to configure it as a replication destination. After you finish configuring on the TeraStation's Settings, go to step 3.
1
Click the Start button on Windows Storage Server of the replication destination TeraStation, then click
TeraStation Backup & Replication Folder Settings.
2
Click the blank space under "Label" and enter a label for the folder. Click
folder as a replication destination. Enter the desired characters for a backup device access key and click Save
when finished. The backup device access key may contain up to 8 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), and
underscores (_). The first character should not be a symbol.

Click the Start button on Windows Storage Server of the replication source TeraStation, then click Buffalo
Replication.
