Chapter 6 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.

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 the Advanced Settings tab.
5
Under "LAN Protocol Support", check "Backup" and click OK.
Note: If a backup 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 password, enter it into the "Remote Backup Password" box. Leave this box blank if you don't want a backup
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 target LinkStations or TeraStations are on the same network.
• No backup password is set for the target LinkStation or TeraStation.
• No LinkStation or TeraStation from outside the subnet, or connected by a VPN, is used.
