9.2 Tape Backup and Restore

The NAS-3410 builds in backup software for data protection. The backup software features full or
incremental backup, scheduled tasks and multi-volume backup. The administrator is able to define
backup policy by incorporating one or more backup tasks. It can also utilize the hardware
compression capability. It is simple, yet powerful enough to fulfill most backup demands.
The backup software requires the system folder to operate. To specify the system folder, please
open the Administration Page and go to the Server
volume to contain the system folder. If there exists no system folder in the specified volume, it will
create one automatically.

when running a backup task.
