Windows/NAS (Archive Bit) – select this if you wish to backup a share from a Windows
PC. Incremental backups use the archive bit of files, similar to Windows, to determine
whether they should be backed up.
Website – select thi if you wish to back up a website or a website directory. The backed
up files include files in the default index file and all associated files, as well as all index file
links to web page image files.
FTP site – select this if you wish to back up an FTP site or a path from that site.
NFS server – select this option if you wish to back up from a Linux/Unix server across
NFS. Mac OS X users can also use this option by setting up a NFS share from the console
terminal.
Rsync server – select this if you wish to perform backups from a rsync server. Rsync was
originally available for Linux and other flavors of Unix, but has lately become popular
under Windows and Mac for its efficient use of incremental file transfers. This is the
preferred backup method between two ioSafe R4 systems.
Once you have selected a backup source, you can enter the path from that source. If you selected a
ioSafe R4 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 a 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

//192.168.0.101/myshare/myfolder
