Use rate limits |
Limits the transmission speed to reduce bandwidth issues.
|
Specify a client-side encryption password |
Encrypts data before sending it to the destination. This can reduce the risk of unauthorized data access. Warning:
Client-side encryption cannot be disabled, and the password cannot be changed after encryption is applied.
|
Use TCP BBR congestion control |
Optimizes transmission speeds allowing for higher bandwidth and lower latency. |
Integrate with QuWAN |
Allows QuWAN to manage and optimize this job’s network traffic. |
Remove additional files in destination folder |
Removes destination data that does not exist in the source folder. Changes to files in the source folder will be mirrored in the destination folder. |
Detect sparse files |
Uploads only non-null data for sparse files. |
Check file contents |
Examines file contents, data, size, and name to determine if two files are identical. Important:
Selecting this option may increase the time and bandwidth used when syncing data. |
Exclude duplicate files |
Examines file contents, data, size, and name to determine if files are duplicates. Duplicate files are excluded from the job. |
Exclude symbolic links |
Excludes symbolic links located in the paired folder. |
Include hidden files and folders |
Includes all hidden files and folders. |
Compress files during transmission |
Compresses files to lower bandwidth requirements. This can speed up data transfer over a slow data connection, but consumes more CPU resources. |
Exclude system-generated temp files |
Excludes temporary files created by the system. |
Replicate ACL and extended attributes |
Replicates information stored in extended attributes. The destination host must enable the same ACL functions and be joined to the same domain. |
Do not take a snapshot |
Reads data directly from the disk instead of using a snapshot as the backup source. |
Replicate ACL and extended attributes |
Replicates information stored in extended attributes. The destination host must enable the same ACL functions and be joined to the same domain. QTS and QuTS hero have incompatible ACL settings. If conflicts occur with backup, sync, and restore jobs between QTS and QuTS hero, Windows ACL takes priority. Important:
To prevent NAS user accounts from having different access permissions, ensure the username and user ID match on both devices, or that both accounts are authenticated from the same AD/LDAP server. |
Sync Qsync folders only |
Only Qsync folders are synced. Note:
|
Some options are only available with certain destination types.

Maximum log size |
Specifies the maximum size of log files. The log file size cannot exceed 1024 MB. |
Enable debug logging |
Adds the default debug configuration to the log file list when the job is running and generating log files. |
Notification trigger |
Specifies whether notifications should be sent after a job event. For more information, please see the Notification Center documentation. |
Connection timeout (seconds) |
Specifies how long to wait before the connection times out. |
Retries |
Specifies the number of times to retry the connection. |
Retry intervals |
Specifies how long to wait between retrying the connection. |
Skipped file limit |
Specifies a maximum number of files to skip. After exceeding this limit, real-time jobs enter a warning state and scheduled jobs are suspended. |
Concurrent file processing limit |
Specifies how many files to transmit at once. Tip:
Processing files concurrently can improve the transmission rate, but uses more system resources. Use the default setting if you are unsure. |
Restart after abnormal termination |
Restarts the job if it abnormally terminates while running. |
This setting is only available when your NAS has two or more network interface connections. For details, see the Network & Virtual Switch section of the QTS User Guide or the QuTS hero User Guide.
