Backup operation modes

Three backup operation modes are available.

Normal Backup

All les in the source folder are backed up to the destination folder.

Overwrite Backup (Append Backup)

The rst time the backup runs, it backs up all les in the source folder just like a normal backup.

If later, le A is added to the backup source and le B is deleted, the next backup will add le A,

but le B will not be deleted from the backup destination. This will use more space on the backup

destination because of the les that are not deleted.

Overwrite Backup (Dierential Backup)

The rst time the backup runs, it backs up all les in the source folder just like a normal backup.

If later, le A is added to the backup source and le B is removed, the next backup will add le A

and delete le B. This uses the same space on the backup destination as a normal backup.

The following types of folders may be used as either backup sources or backup destinations:

• Shared folders on your LinkStation, including attached USB drives, but not including the info

folder

• Shared folders on a dierent TeraStation or LinkStation on the local network, but not USB drives

attached to it

• Shared folders of a TeraStation or LinkStation on a dierent network that has been selected

manually by IP address, but not USB drives attached to it

Notes:

Before using a folder for backup, navigate to [Shared Folders] in the Web Admin interface and

check [Disk Backup] for [Shared Folder Support].

Subfolders of shared folders are not supported for backup.

To make a TeraStation or LinkStation that is on a dierent network available for use as a backup

target, navigate to [System] - [Backup] - [View NAS Devices] in the source LinkStation’s Web

Admin interface and add it by IP address.
