Assign Backup Jobs to the Backup Button

You can assign a backup job to the Backup button on the front of your ReadyNAS system. 
This makes performing a backup as simple as pressing the Backup button.



From the FrontView main menu, select Backup > Backup Jobs.

In the Backup Button Setup pane, use the drop-down lists to determine which backup jobs 
to perform when the backup button is pressed.

Click the Apply button.

Your settings are saved 

When you press the Backup button, the jobs are performed in the order listed.

Edit a Backup Job

After you create a backup job, you can edit it later.



From the FrontView main menu, select Backup > Backup Jobs.

In the Backup Schedule pane, click the job number button for the backup job.

Edit the job the same way that you would create one.

Click the Apply button.

Your settings are saved.

Recover Backed-up Data

You can create a recovery backup job in much the same way you originally backed up the 
data: Create a new backup job that is the “recovery” job, and use the backup job’s source as 
the recovery job’s destination and the backup job’s destination as the recovery job’s source. 
You also need to set a few options correctly to avoid accidentally erasing the recovered data.



From the FrontView main menu, select Backup > Add a New Backup Job.

In the Select backup source pane, choose the original backup job’s destination. 

Ensure that the settings in the recovery job’s source pane are exactly the same as the 
settings in the backup job’s destination pane.
