Backup and Recovery
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.
If your data is important enough to store, it is important enough to back up. Data can be lost due to a number
of events, including natural disaster (for example, fire or flood), theft, improper data deletion, and hard drive
failure. If you regularly back up your data, you can recover your data if any of these situations occur.
Businesses sometimes use backup data to comply with data retention regulations and to archive information
before making major changes to their IT environments, such as batch updates to databases. At home and in
business settings, back up important data that might be lost due to a natural disaster or the loss of a device that
stores data.
