Enable the USB one touch copy button to back up data from the front USB drive to the NAS or vice versa. This feature is not supported by TS-809U-RP, TS-879U-RP, TS-EC879U-RP, TS-1279U-RP, TS-EC1279U-RP.

 

 

Backup direction: From the front USB drive to the NAS or vice versa.

Backup method:

•Create directory: A new directory will be created on the destination and the source data will be copied to this directory. The new directory will be named as the backup date (YYYYMMDD). If there are two or more backups on the same day, the directory will be named with YYYYMMDD-1, YYYYMMDD-2... and so on.
•Copy: Back up data to the destination share. If the same file exists, the destination file will be overwritten.
•Synchronize: Back up data to the destination share and clear the redundant files. If the same file exists, the destination file will be overwritten.

 

Note: If there are multiple partitions on the source storage device, a new folder will be created for each partition on the destination as the backup folder. The backup folder will be named with the backup date and the partition number, YYYYMMDD-1 for partition 1, YYYYMMDD-2 for partition 2... and so on. If the source storage device contains only one partition, the backup folder will be named as YYYYMMDD only.

 

Handle sparse files efficiently: A sparse file is a type of computer file that contains large blocks of zero-byte data. Turn on this option may reduce the time required for backup.

Source and destination folders: Specify the folder pairs for backup and click “Add”. Maximum 9 folder pairs can be added.

Options: Click “Options” to set up notification of the backup jobs by email, SMS, or instant messaging (IM).

Unmount the front USB drive manually: When enabled, users can press the Copy button for about 8–10 seconds  until the USB LED light turns off and remove the front USB drive from the NAS.

Enable the alarm buzzer:

•One short beep: Backup has started.
•Two short beeps: The front USB drive is being unmounted.

 

Data copy by front USB port

The NAS supports instant data copy backup from the external USB device to the NAS or the other way round by the front one touch copy button. To use this function, follow the steps below:

1.Make sure a hard drive is installed and formatted on the NAS. The default network share Qusb/Usb has been created.
2.Turn on the NAS.
3.Configure the behaviour of the Copy button on “Backup” > “USB one touch copy” page.
4.Connect the USB device, for example, digital camera or flash, to the front USB port of the NAS.
5.Press the Copy button once. The data will be copied according to your settings on the NAS.

 

Note: Incremental backup is used for this feature. After the first time data backup, the NAS only copies the changed files since the last backup.

 

Caution: Files are copied from the source to the destination. Extra files on the destination will be deleted; files of the same names will be overwritten by the source. Source data will remain unchanged.
