Backup ALL local shares to USB drive
Hi, I just wondered how to use USB as a Backup destination for RN 102, because it will always copy data from inside the share to the root of the USB device, and that for each share, mixing up the sha...
+1 for me too. New to the device so simply trying to use the GUI backup, but not particularly configurable, no visibility what's happening in the file system, and the drive filled up almost immediately causing backups to stop. Kind of defeats the whole idea of a simple, brainless backup.
What I thought would happen was:
First run a complete backup of the entire data volume.
Subsequent nightly runs just the delta.
What I would like is a configurable backup where I have choices. Like differentials, incremental, or multiple backup jobs that allow me to do daily, weekly, and monthly at my discretion. Is there a way to hack this through a SSH connection and get into configuration files to create custom setting for the existing GUI backup?
