Completing Protection Tasks

There are a lot of ways you can use your Seagate NAS to protect your data. As administrator,
you can locally protect your personal PC or Mac:
• To back up PC data: Install the backup software provided on the DVD on your personal
PC.
• To back up Mac data: Enable the Seagate NAS as a target for Apple
backup. Then, from your Mac, do the following:
• Open the Time Machine and click Select Disk.
• Select .TMBACKUP
• Enter your Seagate NAS user name and password.
Backup with start automatically.
TIP: The Seagate Business Storage NAS User Guide provides instructions specifically for
your users to help them install software to back up their computers, access the NAS,
steam media content, and so on.
Creating a NAS to NAS Backup Job
You can set up NAS to NAS backup, where a permanent link is created between your
Seagate NAS and another Seagate NAS on your network, and automatic and continuous
backups of your Seagate NAS take place. Continuous backups provide the best protection
against data or device loss, especially if the second Seagate NAS is located in a different
building or part of the city (or country) than your Seagate NAS.
To set up the permanent link, you first need to define information on the NAS target (this is
where you want your backups to be saved). You need to create an authentication name and
password, and then identify aliases.
In the NAS Manager, select Protect > Protect Server Settings.
