Setting Up an Nsync Target on an Nsync Device

On the Nsync target server, the administrator of that server has to set up a user

account with a folder named “nsync” and grant write access.

1. On the Nsync server, add a user for Nsync source (ex. nsyncsource1). For

instructions on how to add a user on the 1U4500, see Chapter 4: System
Management > User and Groups Management > Local User

Configuration >

Adding Users

.

2. On the Nsync server, grant that user (ex. nsyncsource1) write access to

the nsync folder. For instructions on how to set up a folder’s ACL, see

Chapter 4: System Management > Folder Management >

Folder

Access Control List (ACL)

.

3. Once this is done, the target server will start accepting Nsync tasks from

server using that ID and password.

Setting Up an Nsync Target on Another Device

If you selected “Other Device” when setting up your Nsync task, the 1U4500 will
use the FTP protocol to back up the share folder. On the external storage device,

make sure there is a folder named “nsync”, and the Auth ID has writable
permission in that folder.

Designating 1U4500 as an Nsync Target

The 1U4500 can act as an Nsync server, enabling another Nsync-equipped Thecus
NAS at a remote location backup their files to this 1U4500. From the Network

menu, choose the Nsync Target item, and the Nsync Target Server Setting
screen appears.
