Securing Your Data

destination as doing so can delete your source files for good. It is safer to not select this option
unless your device is running low on space. Do experiment with a test share to make sure you
understand this option.

4. Remove deleted files on backup target for rsync. By default, files deleted in the backup

source will not get deleted in the backup destination. With rsync, you have the option of
simulating mirror mode by removing files in the backup destination deleted from the backup
source since the last backup. Select this option if you wish to do this. Experiment with a test
share to make sure that you understand this option.

5. Change ownership of backup files. The Backup Manager attempts to maintain original file

ownership whenever possible; however, this might cause problems in Share Security mode
when backup files are accessed. To work around this, you have the option of automatically
changing the ownership of the backed-up files to match the ownership of the share. This
allows anyone who can access the backup share to have full access to the backed-up files.

6. Click Apply to save your settings.

Before trusting your backup job to a schedule, it is a good practice to manually perform the backup
to make sure that access to the remote backup source or destination is granted, and that the backup
job can be done within the backup frequency you selected. This can be done after you save the
backup job.

Viewing the Backup Schedule

After saving the backup job, a new job appears in the Backup Schedule section of the Backup Jobs
screen.

A summary of the backup jobs that have been scheduled are shown; jobs are numbered beginning
at 001.
