Archive mode (incremental backup): After enabling this feature, successive
backup jobs (after your first backup job) will only copy the data that has
changed since your last backup job (block level). For example, if you have made
some small changes to a 10 MB file, incremental backup will only copy the
portions that you have made changes to. This can significantly reduce bandwidth
usage.
Compress data during the transfer: During backup you can compress the data
that is being transferred thereby lowering bandwidth usage.
Keep file metadata: When you enable this option, certain file properties
(permissions, extensions, attributes, owner, groups, etc.) will be sent along with
the file to the destination.
Support sparse files replication: You will only need to enable this option when
the data that you wish to back up contains sparse files. Normally, you will not
have to enable this option.
Mission Mode: Sometimes backup jobs may be stopped because of various
connection problems with a busy server on the other end. ASUSTOR’s Mission
Mode option allows you to configure the number of connection attempts and
time interval for connection attempts, ensuring for the successful completion of
your backup job. This also gives IT administrators a significant amount of
flexibility when configuring backup jobs.

FTP backup can allow for your NAS to be used as a backup destination or backup source.
When using your NAS as a backup source, you can choose to back up the data from your
NAS onto another remote ASUSTOR NAS or FTP server. When your NAS acts as a backup
destination, you can back up the data from another remote ASUSTOR NAS or FTP server
onto your NAS.
Mission Mode: Sometimes backup jobs may be stopped because of various
connection problems with a busy server on the other end. ASUSTOR’s Mission
Mode option allows you to configure the number of connection attempts and
time interval for connection attempts, ensuring for the successful completion
of your backup job.
Reminder: If you wish to use FTP backup while using your NAS in conjunction
with another remote ASUSTOR NAS, please remember to enable the FTP server
feature on the remote NAS (Services -> FTP Server). For more information
please see 3.2.4 FTP Server.
