Step 3 is to complete the task settings. On the page you should provide the task name, select the
target folder to receive data, specify the schedule and configure the SmartSync options.
Step 4 is for confirmation, showing the brief information of the task settings.
The SmartSync Options
When setting up a SmartSync task, you will see the following SmartSync options.
• Compress the data stream during data transmission: when checked, it will compress data
before transmitting to the SmartSync server. Sometimes it will make it faster to complete a task.
However, it takes extra CPU time to compress data and may have performance penalty if
compression ratio is low.
• Contain security information: when checked, it will send ACL information to the SmartSync
server.
• Bandwidth control: limits the maximum bandwidth for the task.
• Include/exclude file pattern: for excluding or including certain file types in the synchronization.
For example, to exclude WORD files, type -*.doc; . To exclude all WORD files except those beginning
with abc, type +abc*;- *.doc; .
• Perform quick synchronization: quick synchronization will only check file date, time and size
when matching files, instead of checking block-by-block. It will speed up the synchronization a lot,
while taking the risk that files might not be made identical.
• Generate transaction logs: when checked, it will record which files are added, updated or deleted
during the data replication. The transaction logs are displayed on the SmartSync Summary page.
9.5 Backup and Restore System Profiles
To recover from system failures, it requires restoring data and system configurations. Tape backup
and SmartSync are for restoring data, while system profiles are used for recovering system
configurations. System profiles are the backups of all system configurations, user database and
security information.
Backing Up System Profiles
To back up system configurations, please open the administration page and go to Backup→System
Profile. System profiles are saved manually or on a regular basis as defined on the page. System
profiles will be saved locally on HD. The current backups are displayed on the lower page. To delete a
system profile, check its check-box and click the Delete icon.
Recovering the system configurations when a disaster happens
If there is any system failure which causes corrupt system configurations, the first step is to reset the
system configurations to factory default. Go to the Server→Shutdown page. Check the Reset
configuration to factory default option and click the Reboot button. The second step is to restore
