LUN Backup

Under the Backup tab of Backup & Replication, you can use Local LUN Backup to back up the iSCSI LUNs on your DiskStation to local shared folders. You can also use Network LUN Backup to back up to another DiskStation.

To back up an iSCSI LUN:

  1. Choose Create > LUN backup task to open the LUN Backup Wizard, and click Next.
  2. When you are prompted to choose a destination type, choose either of the following:
  3. When prompted, specify the backup destination and source LUN, and set the backup schedule.
  4. Follow the wizard to complete the setup.

After the backup task is created, the DiskStation will perform the backup task according to the schedule and store the backed up LUN at the destination. The backed up LUN is used for backup purpose only. To access the backup LUN, see To restore the backup LUN for more information.

Note:

About Full Backup and Incremental Backup:

DiskStation will perform a full backup of the selected LUN for the first time, and then perform incremental backup afterwards. However, if the shared folder name or directory name of the backup destination is changed, DiskStation will perform a full backup for the task again.
