Step 3 - Choose Backup Schedule; Step 4 - Choose Backup Options - Infrant Technologies Readynas User Manual

The remote backup destination can be a Windows PC/ReadyNAS system, NFS server, or a Rsync
server. Note that you can select Rsync for a remote ReadyNAS if it is configured to serve data over
Rsync.

You can select a backup schedule as frequently as once every four hours every day to just once a
week. The backup schedule is offset by 5 minutes from the hour to allow you to schedule snapshots
on the hour (snapshots are almost instantaneous) and perform backups on those snapshots.
If you wish, you can elect not to schedule the backup job so that you can invoke it manually instead
by not selecting the Perform backup every... option. You may want to do this if you will be
starting the backup from a Backup Button on ReadyNAS systems with this feature.

In this last step, select how you would like backups to be performed.

First, select when you want full backups to be performed. You can elect to do this just at the first
time, every week, every two weeks, every three weeks, every four weeks, or every time this backup
job is invoked. The first full backup is performed at the next scheduled occurrence of the backup
depending on the schedule you specify, and the next full backup is performed at the weekly interval
you choose calculated from this first backup. Incremental backup is performed between the full
backup cycles.
Backups of Web or FTP site will only have the option to do full backup every time.
S e n d b a c k u p l o g
Backup logs can be sent to the users on the Alert contact list when the backup completes. It is a
good idea to select this option to make sure files are backed up as expected. You can elect to send
only errors encountered during backup, full backup logs consisting of file listing (can be large), or
status and errors (status refers to completion status).
