6. Select to replicate the data immediately or specify the backup schedule.
7. Specify other options for the remote replication job.
Enable encryption: Select this option to execute encrypted remote replication. Note that you
must turn on “Allow SSH connection” in “Network Services > “Telnet/SSH” and specify the
same port number for SSH and encrypted remote replication.
Activate file compression: Turn on this option to allow file compression during the data
transfer process. This option is recommended for low bandwidth environment or remote
replication over WAN.
Stop network file services while replicating: Stop all connections to the NAS via Samba
(SMB), AFP, and FTP when remote replication is in process.
Perform incremental replication: When this option is turned on, after the first-time
replication, the NAS will only back up the files that have been changed since the last backup.
The files of the same name, size, and modified time will not be copied again. You are
recommended to turn on this option for the replication job which will be executed for more
than once in order to shorten the backup time.
Delete extra files on remote destination: Select the option to synchronize the source data
with the destination data (one-way synchronization). Extra files on the destination will be
deleted. Source data will remain unchanged.
Handle sparse files efficiently: A sparse file is a type of computer file that contains large
blocks of zero-byte data. Turn on this option may reduce the time required for remote
replication.
