• Remote Rsync server. Select this if you wish to perform backups from a rsync server. Rsync

backup method between two ReadyNAS devices.

• Volume. Select this if you wish to perform ReadyNAS backups to a local drive on the
computer you are using to connect to the ReadyNAS.

• All Home Shares. Select this if you wish to back up all shares on this ReadyNAS.
Once you have selected a backup source, you can enter the path from that source. If you selected a
ReadyNAS 2100 share, you can either leave the path blank to backup the entire share, or enter a
folder path. Note that you should use forward slashes (/), in place of backslashes (\).
If you selected a remote source, each remote protocol uses a slightly different notation for the path.
If the path field is empty, selecting the remote source in the pull-down menu shows an example
format of the path.
Following are some examples:
• Examples of an FTP path:
ftp://myserver/mypath/mydir
ftp://myserver/mypath/mydir/myfile
• Examples of a website path:
http://www.mywebsite.com
http://192.168.0.101/mypath/mydir
• Examples of a Windows or remote NAS path:
//myserver/myshare
