Back Up Files
You can create, configure and delete backup and recovery jobs. You can also manually
start jobs and clear the job log.
Backup Job Recommendations
By default, all backup jobs are scheduled to run every day. You can edit these settings
after you create each backup job. For more information, see Schedule a Backup Job
on page 282.
The first few times you back up data, it is a good practice to perform the backup manually.
With a manual backup, you can make sure that access is granted to the remote backup
source or destination and see how long the backup takes to run. You must know how
long the backup job takes so that you can allow enough time in the schedule for it to
complete before you schedule the next backup. You can run a manual backup after you
create each backup job. For more information, see Manually Start a Backup or Recovery
Job on page 285.
Note: Backup and recovery jobs using Time Machine use different procedures. For
more information, see Back Up Using Time Machine on page 297.
Create a Backup Job
To create a backup job:
1. Log in to your ReadyNAS.
2. Select Backup.
