A recovery source is the place where you store the backed-up data. A recovery destination is the place to which you want to restore the backed-up data. The recovered data replaces a deleted or damaged primary copy. If you store backed-up data on the ReadyNAS system, you can create a recovery job to restore backed-up data to your computer or other primary device. Figure 14.
