Overview
With QuWAN Express Supernode, two QNAP NAS devices on different networks can communicate over a secure virtual network. This guide shows you how to create a remote backup job in HBS 3 using the QuWAN virtual IP assigned to the destination NAS.
Prerequisites
Before creating a backup job, both NAS devices must first join QuWAN Express Supernode. The IP addresses used in HBS 3 are the virtual IPs assigned by QuWAN after joining — not the physical LAN IPs.
You can refer to the article "How to connect a NAS to QuWAN Orchestrator using QuWAN Express and the Super Node Service?" to learn how to join your NAS to QuWAN Express.
