NAS 259 – Using Remote Sync (Rsync) to Protect Your Data
NAS 351 – Remote Sync (Rsync): Best Practice
2.5.2. FTP Backup
FTP backup can allow for your NAS to be used as a backup destination or backup source.
When using your NAS as a backup source, you can choose to back up the data from your
NAS onto another remote ASUSTOR NAS or FTP server. When your NAS acts as a backup
destination, you can back up the data from another remote ASUSTOR NAS or FTP server
onto your NAS.
 Mission Mode: Sometimes backup jobs may be stopped because of various connection
problems with a busy server on the other end. ASUSTOR’s Mission Mode option allows
you to configure the number of connection attempts and time interval for connection
attempts, ensuring for the successful completion of your backup job.
Reminder: If you wish to use FTP backup while using your NAS in conjunction
with another remote ASUSTOR NAS, please remember to enable the FTP server
feature on the remote NAS (Services -> FTP Server). For more information
please see FTP Server 2.2.4.
