Managing TrueCloud Backup Tasks
TrueNAS can send, receive, or synchronize data with the cloud storage providers available in TrueNAS.
TrueCloud backup tasks allow for single-time transfers or recurring transfers on a schedule. They are an effective method to back up data to a remote location.
This article provides instructions on configuring a TrueCloud backup task using Storj and covers setting up the Storj iX account and TrueNAS credential.
To take advantage of the lower-cost benefits of the TrueCloud backup service, you must create your Storj iX account using the link provided on the Add Cloud Credentials screen.
TrueCloud Backup Tasks Screens
The TrueCloud Backup Tasks widget on the Data Protection screen shows configured TrueCloud tasks, and provides access to configuration screens to add or schedule recurring transfers between TrueNAS and a cloud storage provider account like Storj iX.
TrueCloud backup tasks effectively back up data to remote locations, restore snapshots, and perform cloud-storage migration.
