Figure 14. Recovering data from a ReadyNAS system to a laptop computer
If you store backed-up data on another device on the network, such as a USB drive, you
can create a recovery job to restore backed-up data to your ReadyNAS system.
Figure 15. Restoring data from a USB drive to a ReadyNAS system
The ReadyNAS system treats recovery jobs like backup jobs. You use the Backup page
to create a recovery job. In a recovery job, you reverse the source and destination that
you used when you backed up the data. The recovery source is the backup destination
and the recovery destination is the backup source.
Secure Cloud Backups
A secure cloud backup lets you use online backup and recovery tools, such as ReadyNAS
Vault, to save data over the Internet to a remote location and restore the data, if needed.
For more information about backing up your data using ReadyNAS Vault, see ReadyNAS
Vault on page 174.
Backup Protocols
When you back up data to a remote destination or recover it from a remote source,
data is transferred over a network using file-sharing protocols.
