Next, choose to restore all files or only certain files or folders. For the latter, you need to install

Sun Java virtual machine v1.4 or higher. Please go to http://java.sun.com and download the

software. Use the Java UI to select the files or folders to be restored.

Next, choose the destination: the original location or alternative location. If the original location is

selected, it will restore the files to exactly where they are backed up. If the original volume is

missing, it will not restore anything. If the original folders are missing, it will create the folders

automatically.

If the alternative location is selected, it will restore data to a user-specified location. The full tree

hierarchy of backup data will be reconstructed under that location.

Restore security: when checked, it will restore the access control lists (ACL) together with the

data.

Overwrite Options – specify whether to overwrite the existing files with the backed up files.

Status column. Click a hyperlink to watch task progress and details. It shows Idle with no

hyperlinks if there is no running task.

After a backup or restoring task finishes, it will keep summary logs in the system folder. On the

Summary page you will see the summary logs. They keep records of the execution summary

information of the backup or restoring tasks. Click a hyperlink in the Task Name column to see its

details. To delete logs, please check the check-boxes to the right and click the Delete icon.

9.4 SmartSync – NAS-to-NAS Data Replication

The NAS-3410s are integrated with the SmartSync function for NAS-to-NAS data replication. Two

or more NAS-3410s are required, one as the SmartSync server, others as the SmartSync clients.

The SmartSync server is like an ftp server. The SmartSync clients can either replicate their data to

the SmartSync server, or copying data from the SmartSync server, depending on the task settings.

There are three operating modes of SmartSync - "mirror" for one-to-one data replication,

"backup" for disk-based backup, "distribute" for one-to-many data distribution. The following

sections describe the usage and applications of these operating modes.
