HBS3 from NAS to 1) USB and 2) LAN PC HDD?

Post by bajafx4 »

Hello,

Just recently have a TS-453D up and running. I set up HBS3 to schedule backups to my paid Dropbox account weekly and that seems to be working well, but I'd like to do one or both of the following:

1) Purchase an external USB HDD and connect to the NAS for local backups on a schedule - not with the "one touch copy" button feature. I don't see scheduling as an option in HBS3, but it could be because I don't have any external storage connected. I didn't want to purchase an external drive if scheduling isn't an option.

2) I have a PC on the same LAN as the NAS with two HDD in RAID1. How can I backup my NAS to the drives on this local PC?

Thanks!

1. when you add a compatible drive you create a job and then you can copy to the folder the USB drive resides in. USB drives hang off the NAS so you can see them as a folder.

2. create a shared folder on your PC that the NAS can see. create a storage space (in HBS3) pointing to your PC with credentials, and the shared folder, create backup job and point it to the shared storage.

If you setup Sync Jobs you can do both of the desired jobs: a scheduled sync to an USB drive and a sync (not a backup!) to a PC.
For syncing to a "remote" device other than a NAS (remote is all not inside the source NAS), you need to create a storage space first.
You will find all information in manuals. :wink:

Thank you @Toxic17. I'll get a portable USB connected and give it a try.

Thank you @FSC830. I do have sync between NAS and PC working through QSync, but I additionally want to create backups.
