User Manual

Notes:

• Up to 8 backup jobs can be configured.

• To back up data between LinkStations or TeraStations on a network using jumbo frames, make sure that both

devices are configured to use identical (or similar) Ethernet frame sizes. If Ethernet frame sizes are significantly

different, the backup job may not be properly performed. In such a case, select the default frame size (1500

bytes).

Backup Modes

The following types of backup jobs may be selected:

Mode Files included

Overwrite (differential)

The first backup job runs like a normal backup. The backed up data will be

stored under the automatically-created folder of the job name. As each

additional backup job runs, files are added to and deleted from the backup

folder. The backup destination folder will always be the same size as the

backup source folder.

Overwrite (incremental)

The first backup job runs like a normal backup. The backed up data will

be stored under the automatically-created folder of the job name. In

subsequent backups, files added to the source as well as files deleted from

the source are kept in the backup folder.

Normal backup

All files in the source will be backed up to the destination. Whenever the

backup job runs, the folder with the name as the date when the backup job

runs will be created automatically and the backed up data will be stored

here.
