ReadyNAS 2100 User Manual The log format might differ depending on the backup source and destination type that was selected, but you can see when the job was started and finished, and whether it was completed successfully or with errors. Editing a Backup Job To edit a backup job, you can either click the 3-digit job number button in the Backup Jobs screen, or you can click the Edit Backup Job link while viewing that job log. You can then make appropriate changes or adjustments to the job. MAC OS X Time Machine Backup The ReadyNAS can be used as a backup destination for your OS X Time Machine. After enabling the Time Machine option, use the "Change Disk..." option from Time Machine Preferences to select this ReadyNAS. You will need to enter the user name and password specified in the ReadyNAS when prompted by the MAC for authentication.

You can visualize a snapshot as a frozen image of a volume at the time you take the snapshot. Snapshots are typically used for backups, during which time the original volume can continue to operate normally. As primary storage becomes larger, offline backups tend to become increasingly difficult as backup time increases beyond offline hours. Snapshots allow backups to occur without the need to take your systems offline. Snapshots also can be used as temporary backups. For example, if a file on the NAS device becomes infected with a virus, the uninfected file can be restored from a prior snapshot taken before the attack. Securing Your Data 4-9 v1.0, May 2009
