Remote Backup
Introduction Data Guard is the powerful backup solution that Thecus provides. Remote backup solutions on the market usually are expensive and requires a complicated setup. Thecus introduces a remote backup solution that allows you to set up different backup solutions in 1 minute; and of course, it’s free and built in to ThecusOS. In particular, a “Full backup”, “Custom backup” or “iSCSI backup”, can be set to real-time or scheduled backup according to demand. In this How-to, we will back up data to a N5550 (demo IP: 172.16.65.131) to N4800 (demo IP: 172.16.65.111) Let’s get started!
