Setting |
Description |
---|---|
Use data compression |
Compresses data to reduce backup sizes and improve transfer speeds and storage efficiency.
Important:
Data is compressed using bzip. After compression, the data must be decompressed before it can be used. |
Some policies are only available with certain destination types.
Policy |
Description |
---|---|
Use rate limits |
Limits the transmission speed to reduce bandwidth issues.
|
Use client-side encryption |
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. |
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. |
Integrate with QuWAN |
Allows QuWAN to manage and optimize this job’s network traffic. |
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. |
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 |
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. |
Compare file size and modification date during initial sync |
Compares the file size and modification date if the cloud server did not provide a checksum for the destination file. Source files with a different file size or more recent modification date are sent to the destination. |
Sync Qsync folders only |
Only Qsync folders are synced. Note:
|
Some options are only available with certain destination types.
Option |
Description |
---|---|
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.
