Chapter 5 Backup

Back Up from the TeraStation

You can back up TeraStation folders to:

• A different folder on the TeraStation

• Another LinkStation on the network

• Another TeraStation on the network

You can also configure backup jobs from Easy Admin.

Note: For best results, using LAN port 3 to connect a backup device is recommended.

Preparing a Backup Destination

First, configure a folder as a backup destination.

1 In Settings, click File Sharing.

2 Click to the right of "Folder Setup".

3 Choose the folder to set as a backup destination.

4 Click Edit.

5 Under "LAN Protocol Support", select the "Backup" checkbox and click OK.

Note: If a backup access password is configured for the shared folder, that folder will not show up as a target

for the backup source or destination when configuring a backup job on another LinkStation or TeraStation. To

configure a backup access password, enter it into the "Backup Access Password" box. Leave this box blank if you

don't want a backup access password.

Backing Up to a LinkStation or TeraStation on Another Network When Connected

via VPN

You can back up to a LinkStation or TeraStation on another network as long as the two networks are connected by a

VPN. Follow this procedure to enter the IP address or hostname of the destination LinkStation or TeraStation.

If your setup meets the requirements below, you don't have to configure these settings:

• The source and destination TeraStations are on the same network.

• No backup access password is set for the destination TeraStation.

• No TeraStation from outside the subnet or connected by a VPN is used.
