Recovery Using ReadyDR Snapshots
When you need to recover shares and LUNs from a ReadyDR backup, you can recover
them by cloning a backed up snapshot.
One application of ReadyDR is to maintain a disaster recovery site. Depending on
specifics of your disaster recovery plan, you might want to restore the data to the original
site, while in other cases you might want to use the disaster recovery site's ReadyNAS
device as a replacement for the original ReadyNAS device. The process is different
depending on the case.
Recovery to the Remote Site
If the ReadyDR share is on the server on which you want the recovered share or LUN,
all you need to do is clone the snapshot. For information about cloning the snapshot,
see Clone Snapshots on page 131.
Recovery to the Original Site
If you want the recovered share or LUN on the original ReadyNAS device, create a one
time ReadyDR job to backup the ReadyDR share with the snapshots back to the original
ReadyNAS device, and then clone the snapshots. For information on creating the
ReadyDR job, see Create a ReadyDR Job on page 292. For information about cloning
the snapshot, see Clone Snapshots on page 131.
Back Up a Camera or Other Media Device
Many cameras and other media devices support the Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) and
the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP). You can configure your ReadyNAS to backup such
devices when you connect them to the ReadyNAS.
Your camera or other MTP supporting device must have MTP or PTP enabled before
connecting it your ReadyNAS. Check your device documentation.
After enabling MTP backups, when you connect your device to the ReadyNAS with a
USB cable, the ReadyNAS automatically backups up the device.
Note: Recent versions of iOS and Android OS require you to authorize the ReadyNAS
to access the device when you first connect them.
To enable automatic MTP or PTP backups:
1. Log in to the ReadyNAS.
