Network-Attached Device on page 139.
The recovery process illustrated in Figure 5 is described in Recover Data to a
Network-Attached Device on page 143.
Backup Protocols
Because backup and recovery jobs are transfers of data over a network, file-sharing
protocols are used for backup and recovery jobs. For more information about file-sharing
protocols used by your ReadyNAS storage system, see Streaming Services on page 95.
Your ReadyNAS system supports full backups using the FTP and HTTP protocols, and full
and incremental backups using the CIFS (SMB), NFS, and Rsync protocols.
