3D-Link ShareCenter Sync Manual
Many people nowadays have large collections of documents, music and movies which are often quite large investments. The
last thing you want is for your valuable data to be lost which is why making a backup is essential. Managing those backups and
the time you should perform them can be quite a heavy task. ShareCenter Sync is software that works with your ShareCenter
NAS which allows you to automate the process and create a schedule for automating your backups. Using ShareCenter Sync
you can easily backup from your computer to your ShareCenter NAS on your LAN (Local Area Network) or restore from your
NAS to your computer.
