Internal Backup
Internal Backup allows you to backup data from NAS to local shared folders. Using Internal Backup
with MyArchive disks creates a perfect off-site backup solution.
Use 1 on 1 folder synchronization: If you decide to use 1 on 1 folder synchronization, all the
data in the designated destination folder will be synchronized with the data in your source folder
(you may only select one folder). The contents of both folders will be exactly the same. If you decide
not to use this feature, all your chosen source folders (you may select multiple folders) will be copied
one by one to the destination folder.
Preferred file permission for all users at the destination: If the ACL status of the source and
destination are not the same, this permission setting will be applied to the files at the destination.
Keep owner: By default, the owner of the files at the destination will be the user who created the
backup job. Enabling this option can allow you to maintain the original ownership of the files at the
destination.
Support sparse files replication: You will only need to enable this option when the data that you
wish to back up contains sparse files. Normally, you will not have to enable this option.
External Backup
Here you can choose to backup data from USB or eSATA external hard disks to your NAS or backup
data from your NAS to these external hard disks. In addition to supporting two-way backup, this
feature also supports scheduled backups, making sure that your data is always backed up.
Mission Mode: Sometimes backup jobs may be stopped because of various connection problems
with a busy server on the other end. ASUSTOR’s Mission Mode option for external backup allows you
to configure the time interval for connection attempts, ensuring for the successful completion of
your backup job. This also gives IT administrators a significant amount of flexibility when configuring
backup jobs.
