ReadyNAS OS 6.4 Figure 12. Backing up data from a ReadyNAS system to a secondary device (USB drive) If you store primary copies of your data on your computer or other device, you can create a backup job to back up your data to a ReadyNAS system that is on the same network. Figure 13. Backing up data from a computer to a ReadyNAS system A full backup makes a copy of all of the data stored on the primary system. Your first backup of a primary system is always a full backup job. The amount of time a full backup takes depends on the amount of stored data. An incremental backup copies only the data that changed since your last backup process. An incremental backup job takes much less time than a full backup job. Note RAID configuration of disks is not a substitute for backing up data. RAID configuration protects you only from data loss if a disk fails. For more information about the protection that RAID configuration offers, see RAID on page 22. A backup source or destination can be local (stored on the ReadyNAS) or remote (stored somewhere else). If the backup source or destination is remote, you must select the backup protocol that you want to use (see Backup Protocols on page 210). Local options for backup sources and destinations are described in the following table. Backup and Recovery 208
