Chapter 6 Backing Up, Retrieving, and Syncing Files • See Section 14.14.2 on page 194 for an example of how to back up the NAS to another NAS. • Use the Restore screens (Section 27.4 on page 332) to restore previous backups based on the backup job. See Section 14.14.3 on page 196 for an example. 6.5 Cloud Backups Use the NAS with cloud services for off-site backups and synchronization. • Use Dropbox (Chapter 20 on page 274) to log the NAS into your Dropbox account to easily move files to your NAS and have the NAS download *.torrent files. • Use Memopal (Section 18.7 on page 254) to back up files on the NAS to your Memopal online backup and storage account. 6.6 Synchronizing Files Besides backups, the NAS also provides pure synchronization solutions. Note: Synchronization is not backup. When you delete a file in one location, synchronization deletes it in the other location. Do not store your only copy of a document in a synchronized folder. • Use the GoogleDriveClient package (Section 18.8 on page 256) to two-way synchronize local NAS folders and Google Drive accounts. Changes in the Google Drive account appear in the local sync folder and changes in the local sync folder appear in the Google Drive account. • Use the ownCloud package (Section 18.6 on page 251) to host your own private cloud on the NAS. The ownCloud package lets the NAS work as an ownCloud server so computers and mobile devices using the ownCloud client can access, sync, and share files across devices. Cloud Storage User's Guide 35
