Synchronization makes the contents on the target device identical to the ones on 
the source device. You can synchronize files from a USB device to the NSA or from 
the NSA to a USB device. In addition, you may also synchronize files in both 
directions simultaneously.

Press and hold the COPY/SYNC button until you hear a beep to synchronize files. 
See 

 for details about configuring the synchronization 

settings.

When you synchronize files in one direction, contents on the source device replace 
the files on the target device.

The following figure illustrates how synchronization works when you synchronize 
files from a USB device to the NSA. The same concept applies when you 
synchronize files from the NSA to a USB device.

Figure 115   Synchronizing Files Example 1

Both storage devices contain A. 

• A copy of files A and B from the USB device is transferred to the NSA. 
• File A from the USB device replaces file A on the NSA. 
• File C on the NSA is deleted.
