Chapter 9 Protect Screens 9.1.1 What You Can Do in the Protect Screens • Use the Backup screens (Section 9.2 on page 200) to back up data and restore backup files by archive backup job. • Use the Restore screens (Section 9.3 on page 212) to restore by backup files. • Use the Snapshot screens (Section 9.4 on page 215) to create and manage snapshot jobs. • Use the Backup Software screen (Section 9.5 on page 220) to locate the Genie Backup Manager license keys. 9.1.2 What You Need to Know About Protection Methods Configuration File Backup and Restoration Use the Maintenance > Configuration menus to create a file of your NSA configurations such as passwords, shares and volumes created, network settings and so on. If you're going to do some major configuration changes, then it is advisable to create a configuration backup file. If things go wrong after you make the configuration changes, you can always go back to the previous configuration by restoring an earlier configuration file. If you forgot the NSA password, then reset the device to go back to the factory default configuration. " Configuration File Backup and Restoration does not affect disk arrays, volumes, or data (your files and folders) on the NSA. Genie Backup Manager Use the Genie Backup Manager to transfer data from your computer to the NSA. You could use Genie Backup Manager to back up from one NSA to another NSA but it's recommended you use the NSA Protect > Backup to do this (see Section 9.2 on page 200) as the latter would be faster. " The Genie Backup program uses the same network port as the NDU to discover the NSA. To avoid a port conflict, do not run the Genie Backup Manager at the same time as the NDU. Snapshots A snapshot is a record of changes to an internal volume at a particular moment in time. As it only records changes to files made in a volume, it's faster and takes up less space than a backup. Snapshots are good for data that changes often and needs to have high availability. If files within a volume become infected or corrupted, you can revert files back to their state at a snapshot. You create snapshots of a complete volume, not a single file or folder within a volume. 198 NSA-2401 User's Guide
