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 3.2.4 FTP Server.
About FTP Backup
Normally, FTP backup is suitable for use with a majority of FTP servers. However, incompatibility issues
do arise from time to time. Therefore, it is recommended that you use two ASUSTOR NAS units to
execute your backup jobs.
