ReadyNAS OS 6.1 Basic Data Backup and Recovery Concepts 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. Backup Concepts A backup is a copy of data that you use if your primary copy is deleted or damaged. The process of storing primary data on a second device is called backing up. A backup source is the place where you store the primary copy of the data that you want to back up. A backup destination is the place where you store the backed-up data. If you store primary copies of your data on your ReadyNAS system, you can create a backup job to back up your data to a secondary device on the same network.
