Overview
The appliance Web interface provides the following ways of synchronizing folders:
Clientless Backup
Allows you to synchronize files from any computer on your network to a folder on the
appliance, without requiring installation of a software agent on the remote computer.
Tip
Clientless Backup uses Windows File Sharing (CIFS) to synchronize data from
your computers.
Sync Rules
Allow you to do the following:
Synchronize files from any computer on your network (or on the Internet) to your
appliance, and from your appliance to any computer on your network (or on the
Internet).
Synchronize files between two local folders.
For example, you can set up your appliance to back up a certain folder on a daily basis to
an external USB drive.
