Backup Snapshots With ReadyDR
ReadyDR is an alternative way to back up data on your ReadyNAS system. A ReadyNAS backup makes a
copy of files, but a ReadyDR backup makes a copy of the snapshots on a share or LUN.
Because a ReadyDR backup consists of snapshots, you can retrieve not just the most recent version of a
file, but the same previous versions that you could access on the ReadyNAS itself.
However, because the ReadyDR backup is share to ReadyDR share or LUN to ReadyDR share, both the
source and destination must be on a ReadyNAS system, and if the source and destination are on different
ReadyNAS systems, the communication method is specific to ReadyDR.
The ReadyNAS system on which you create the ReadyDR job manages the communication for the job.This
requires that the other ReadyNAS system validate the connection to the first system. If you log in to the
second system from the first system when you create the ReadyDR job, ReadyDR exchanges the first
system's private key automatically. If you cannot log in, you must copy the public key from the first system
and install it on the second system before creating the ReadyDR job. For information about transferring the
key, see Load System Access Key Before Using ReadyDR on page 258.
A complete share or LUN including snapshots can be large, so the initial data transfer could take a substantial
amount of time.To shorten this initial transfer period, you can seed the job with a complete copy of the share
or LUN by exporting it to removable media and then importing it onto the destination ReadyNAS. For more
information about seeding a ReadyDR job, see Seed a ReadyDR Job on page 259.
You can create, configure, and delete ReadyDR backup and recovery jobs.You can also manually start
jobs and clear the job log.
