Netgear ReadyNAS 104 User Manual

Configure the options as described in the following table.

Schedule full backup

From the drop-down list, specify how often to run a full backup.

The first full backup is performed at the next scheduled occurrence of the 
backup depending on the schedule that you specify. The next full backup is 
performed after the interval that you specify, calculated from this first backup. 
Incremental backups are performed between the full backup cycles.

On completion send

Select what type of logs to send when the backup job finishes. You can send 
a log that lists only errors during backup, full logs consisting of file listings (can 
be large), or status and errors (status refers to completion status).

Log email messages are restricted to approximately 10,000 lines. For more 
information about viewing full logs, see 

219.

Remove the contents of 
the backup destination...

Selecting this check box erases the destination path contents before the 
backup is performed. NETGEAR recommends that you do not select this 
check box for recovery jobs.

Best practice is to experiment with this option using a test share to make sure 
that you understand how it works.

After backup is complete, 

change ownership of the 
files...

Your ReadyNAS system attempts to maintain original file ownership 
whenever possible. Selecting this check box automatically changes the 
ownership of the backed-up files to match the ownership of a shared folder 
destination.

Click the Apply button.

Your changes are saved.

Click the OK button.

The pop-up screen closes.



Select Backup > Backups > Jobs.

Select the backup or recovery job from the jobs list.

When using this option, ensure that you correctly identify your backup 

source and backup destination. If you reverse them, you might permanently 
delete your source files. NETGEAR recommends that you do not enable this 
option unless your destination device is very low on storage space.
