and backup.
Remote network
When performing network backups to a remote network, make certain that:
The source and destination network devices are powered on.
You have the network device’s public IP address. You can find the public IP address by visiting
http://www.whatismyip.com/ or by accessing your remote network’s router management software.
When searching for the public IP address, use a computer connected to the same router as the
destination network storage device. For further information, review the user manual for the offsite
network router or contact your Internet service provider.
The ports are open for the backup. You may need to open ports using your router's management
software. The ports to open are listed at Backup Manager > Network Backup server. Review your
router’s user manual for instructions on how to open ports for a device on the network.
(Seagate network storage) The Network Backup server has been enabled on the destination device and
you have the password.
(Third-party network storage) The third-party network storage device supports one of the five network
protocols listed above.
(Third-party network storage) You have the username and password for the network device’s backup
service. Similar to Seagate network devices, many third-party network devices have separate credentials
for login and backup.
Advanced parameters for backups to network storage devices
The Backup Wizard includes four options for your backup. See the explanations below for each option. It is
not mandatory to select one or more of the parameters to continue with the backup:
uses encryption during the data transfer. The data is not encrypted once it is
stored on the destination. This option is ideal for offsite backups.
a transfer optimizes data transmission rates. Data is compressed during the
transfer only. While this option is good for low bandwidth networks, it can affect the Personal Cloud's
performance.
is best used with backups that include files larger than 50MB. For
example, if you edit a document that has already been backed up, only the edits will be copied during
the next backup. This option can affect the Personal Cloud's performance.
keeps files on the destination network device even if they are
deleted from the original network device's source folder.
