import backup image (TIB) from USB to NAS

Thread needs solution

Hello,

Customer want to backup the file server around 4TB, entire disk use single-file format(always incremental) to their NAS.

However, the office network is only 100Mb, it will take over 2 days to backup their NAS.

To speed up the implementation, Please kindly advise :

1. is it possible  "import" the backup image to NAS, like initial seeding ?

2. is it possible to spilt the TIB to small file by software each as Winrar?

Thank you,

DW

Hi,

The backup files are portable and you can save backup to the same machine where the backup is taken from first (local backup), for example to a USB drive, and then move it to your NAS device. After that simply edit the backup task and for backup destination select the folder on the NAS where you copied the backups to (e.g. \\NAS\share\). Upon next run of the backup task it will update the existing backups incrementally.

Concerning your second question: you cannot split the backup archives with WinRAR and then recover from them in such form. The files should be combined before you can perform the restore.

Thank you.
