Figure 15. Restoring data from a USB drive to a ReadyNAS system

The ReadyNAS system treats recovery jobs like backup jobs. You use the Backup page to create a recovery job.
In a recovery job, you reverse the source and destination that you used when you backed up the data. The recovery
source is the backup destination and the recovery destination is the backup source.

A secure cloud backup lets you use online backup and recovery tools, such as ReadyNAS Vault, to save data over
the Internet to a remote location and restore the data, if needed. For more information about backing up your data
using ReadyNAS Vault, see 

 on page 249.

When you back up data to a remote destination or recover it from a remote source, data is transferred over a network
using file-sharing protocols.

You can select which protocol you want to use for the job. The options that are available to you depend on how your
ReadyNAS system is configured. Backup protocols are described in the following table.

Source or destination is a share on a Windows computer, or a share on another NAS.

Incremental backups with this protocol use time stamps to determine whether files will be backed
up.

Windows/NAS (Timestamp)

Source is a share on a Windows computer.

Incremental backups with this protocol use the archive bit of files, similar to Windows, to determine
whether they will be backed up.

Windows (Archive Bit)

Source or destination is an FTP site or a path from that site.

FTP

Source or destination is on a Linux or UNIX device accessed using NFS.

Mac OS X users can also use this option by setting up an NFS share from the console terminal.
