Do this...

Synchronize

Use the arrows to specify how many times a day the remote folders should be backed up.

Destination Share

Select the local appliance network share with which the remote folders should be backed up.

Clientless Backup will automatically create subdirectories under this network share for each backed up folder.

Deleted File Handling

Specify how deleted files should be handled, by selecting one of the following:

  • Keep Deleted Files. Files deleted in the source folder should be kept and not deleted in the destination folder.
    For example, if you chose to back up a local folder to a remote server, and one of the files in the folder is deleted locally, the file will not be deleted on the remote server.
  • Move to Trash Can. Files deleted in the source folder should be moved from the destination folder to the Trash Can folder. (The trash can is a folder called “.Trash”.)
  • Delete. Files deleted in the source folder should be permanently deleted from the destination folder.

The default value is Delete.

Retry for

Use the arrows to select the number of hours after Clientless Backup has failed, that the appliance should continue to retry Clientless Backup. The appliance will only log an error once the specified number of hours has elapsed.

The default value is 20 hours.
