How the Files Are Synchronized
From the Backup > Remote Replication > RTRR window, when you click Create
New Replication Job, you have these synchronization choices:
• Local folder to remote folder—Synchronize files from a local folder to a
remote folder. Files are read from the local NAS and synchronized to the
remote NAS. Files on the local NAS are the base checking for
synchronization. For example, any new update to a file on the local NAS will
be sent to the remote NAS but not the other way around.
• Remote folder to local folder—Synchronize files from a remote folder to a
local folder. For example, new files updated from the remote NAS will be
sent to the local NAS. But if any files are updated on the local NAS, those
files will not be updated on the remote NAS.
• Local folder to local folder/external drive—Synchronize files from a local
folder to another local folder or external drive.
To create a job that synchronizes files from a local folder to a remote folder:
STEP 1 Choose Backup > Remote Replication > RTRR from the Navigation menu. The
Remote Replication RTRR window opens.
STEP 2 From Current Jobs, click Create New Replication Job to launch the
Synchronization Job Wizard.
STEP 3 Click Next to start. The Select Sync Locations window opens.
