Smart Recycle
The backup versions will occupy a good portion of your storage space after a while. Being able to effectively use your space becomes very important. Time Backup’s Smart Recycle is able to intelligently manage versions. You can also lock specific versions to prevent them from being automatically recycled (deleted).
Schedule Backup
Use Time Backup Wizard to set your own backup schedule in Time Backup. You can choose for the system to backup in an hourly interval, or customize your own so that you will never have to manually do the backup. If you ever come across a time when you do need to manually do a snapshot, just click Backup Now to create an image on the spot.
Remote Backup
Time Backup allows users to backup data to another DiskStation in a remote location. With snapshot and multiple versioning still intact, remote backup assures the data and its historical changes are intact when the main server experiences unexpected downtime.
- The backup time varies on the amount of modified data. The first and every task with large data may take longer.
