Show/Hide Files and Folders
By default, the Show hidden files and folders check box is selected. Clear the check box, if you want to avoid backing up the hidden files/folders and want to avoid displaying the hidden files/folders of your Asustor device in the IDrive app.
Upload multiple file chunks simultaneously
By default, the Upload Multiple File Chunks option will be enabled to optimize data upload speed. This feature allows uploading multiple file chunks. To ensure optimum transfer speed, ensure availability of high internet bandwidth during the backup process.
Root Level Listing
Root Level Listing allows users to list their NAS system from root level ("/") in the backup page. This facilitates choosing files/folders from any location in their NAS machine instead of only the shared folders path. Users can backup any files/folders present in their NAS machine without any restrictions.
