How to Backup QNAP NAS to An External Hard Drive?

Geeks - To back up your QNAP NAS to an external hard drive, you will need to first connect the external hard drive to one of the USB ports on your QNAP device. Once the external drive is connected, you can use the QNAP "Backup Station" application to create a backup job that will automatically back up your NAS to the external drive. Here is a general overview of the steps you will need to follow:

Connect the external hard drive to your QNAP NAS using a USB cable.

Open the "Backup Station" application on your QNAP NAS.

In the "Backup Station" application, click on the "Remote Backup" tab.

Click the "Add Remote Backup Job" button.

In the "Add Remote Backup Job" window, select the folders on your QNAP NAS that you want to back up. You can also specify the schedule for the backup job, as well as other settings such as the backup destination and retention policy.

Once you have configured the backup job settings, click the "Save" button to save the backup job.

The backup job will now be scheduled to run according to the schedule you specified. You can check the status of the backup job and view the backup logs in the "Backup Station" application.
