Constantly overwriting files via ftp
« on: December 03, 2011, 12:48:04 PM »
I have scheduled FTP download task of a remote ftp... DNS320 has downloaded about 70gb of files (all of them are less than 1 gb) ... problem occurred when i lose power after 4 days of work and when the power was restored he started to rewrite all files ?

Is there any help ?

I'm assuming here that you used the FTP Download function here: Applications > FTP/HTTP Downloads.
If this is the feature you are using, it looks like the backup functionality does not provide an incremental option, only a full backup. So each executed task will overwrite all files (of the same name) in the destination directory.

FTP aside, the only way to access incremental backup (as far as I'm aware of) as a pull from the DNS-320 is through the remote backup and local backup functionality. Here are two tutorial links on the ShareCenter FAQ page on this forum:

If you feel incremental backup would be a value-add for the FTP functionality, please post on the DNS-320 - Firmware Wishlist thread.  ;)

The remote/local backup are designed to pull files from other locations. I believe the remote backup requires that both the client and server are running RSYNC.
