Backup to QNAP NAS Drive

It's amazing for personal users, small businesses, or large enterprises to own a QNAP NAS Drive. Comparing with the 'real' physical external hard drive, QNAP's Network Attached Storage (NAS) showcases some obvious advantages when choosing it as a backup drive. QNAP NAS are systems that consist of one or more hard drives that are constantly connected to the internet, which are all available for users to backup Windows data such as system, documents, working sheets, game data, and media files like photos, videos, and music. Most of all, rather than taking it everywhere, it is placed at home and always accessible at any time and anywhere.

To back up to the QNAP NAS drive from Windows, there are many ways can make it happen. But here, we recommend you EaseUS Todo Backup and offer a complete tutorial for QNAP NAS drive users who want to backup Windows data to QNAP NAS drive daily or nightly without interruption. 

How to Backup Windows System & Data to QNAP NAS Drive Using EaseUS Todo Backup

It's an effective and complete NAS backup software that provides multiple backup options to QNAP and instant disaster recovery. Download and install it on your Windows machine, and make it detect the QNAP NAS drive.

Step 1. For the first time you use EaseUS Todo Backup to back up files, click Create backup on the home screen and then mouse click the big question mark to select backup contents.

Step 2. Since you're going to back up files and folders on your computer, go on with the "File" backup mode, where you can select pictures, videos, documents and all other types of files to back up.

Step 3. Follow the paths to locate the files, folders or directories you want to back up, select them all and click "OK".

Step 4. Now you need to select a backup location to save and retain the backup.

Step 5. EaseUS Todo Backup allows users to save the backup files to every device that is handy for you, like a local hard drive, external USB drive, SD card, network drive, or a NAS drive, plus a cloud drive of the EaseUS brand. We personally recommend users to choose the cloud drive prior to a physical drive to save important backups due to the greater accessibility, flexibility and safety.

To be able to access to EaseUS cloud, all you need is an email registration and login. 

Step 6. If you're interested in an automatic and intelligent backup schedule for the next file backup task, go on with the "Options" setting. There you can encrypt a confidential file backup, compress the backup image size, or customize a backup scheme to tell the software in what time to start the next backup.
