Netgear ReadyNAS 102 User Manual

Your ReadyNAS system can manage backup and recovery for many devices on your 
network. For example, you can back up data that is stored on your ReadyNAS storage 
system to secondary devices, such as a USB drive. You can also use your ReadyNAS 
storage system to store backed-up data from other devices, like your laptop.

A backup is a copy of data that you use if your primary copy is deleted or damaged. The 

process of storing primary data on a second device is called backing up.

A backup source is the place where you store the primary copy of the data that you want to 

back up. A backup destination is the place where you store the backed-up data.

If you store primary copies of your data on your ReadyNAS system, you can create a backup 
job to back up your data to a secondary device on the same network.

If you store primary copies of your data on your computer or other device, you can create a 
backup job to back up your data to a ReadyNAS system that is on the same network.
