Amazon S3 Continuous Backup?

I'm new to this - and trying to set up something that will be a continuous backup of the ReadyNAS data.  I set up ReadyNASVault, but it doesn't seem to have 2 Factor Authentication, and I'm not comfortable with my data being available to anyone who can hack my username and password.  So, I am trying Amazon S3 - which does have 2 factor authentication - but I don't see what the timeline is for backing up.  Does it only sync data when I'm logged into the admin panel?  Do I manually have to tell it to sync?  

Thanks for any help.

    Hi LEGPurch

     

    Once you have configured S3 on your ReadyNAS you will be able to Sync between the two.

     

    You can choose to sync Bidirectional or One way (Uploads changes on S3 or NAS only). It constantly checks for any changes on the storage and uploads it so the syncing works even if you are not logged in on the Admin page and you will not have to sync it manually. 

     

    Note: You can add and modify Amazon S3 drive session settings by clicking the Amazon S3 Drive Settings button.

     

    Sync with Amazon S3

     

    Hope this helps!
