4.7. Backup
When an external USB hard disk is connected to your LaCie Big Disk
Network, you can perform manual, bidirectional backups of your
files. Copy files from your LaCie Big Disk Network to the external
disk, or from the external disk to the LaCie Big Disk Network.
IMPORTANT INFO:
In order to use an external drive to back up
the Big Disk Network, it must be formatted in one of the supported
systems: FAT32, FAT, NTFS, HFS+, EXT3, EXT2, REISERFS or XFS.
Note that you can reformat external drives to the XFS file system using
the Big Disk Network web interface. See
steps.
However, the following limitations apply: NTFS disks are read-only,
and FAT/FAT32 disks have file size limits (2GB and 4GB, respectively)
due to their file system limitations.
To back up files:
1. Connect an external USB hard disk (see section
2. Log in to the LaCie Big Disk Network Administration Page (see
section
4.1. Accessing the Administration Page
3. Click Backup > Add Task (

4. Give the backup a name and set its frequency (once, daily,
weekly, or monthly) and time (if the backup is recurring) (
) and click Next.
5. Select a source folder (the folder to be backed up) and click
Next.
6. Select a destination folder (where the backed up files will be
located) and click Next.

TECHNICAL NOTE:
If copying a share to an external disk, the entire
contents of the share will be copied to a folder on the external disk
with the same name as the share.
