Important Notes

• SnapSync jobs created in QES version 1.1.4 or earlier must be configured with a source and destination IP address after updating QES to version 2.0.0 or later. Go to "Backup Station" > "SnapSync", edit a job, and then select a "Source IP Address" and a "Destination IP address". The job will not sync until you have made these changes.

New Features

• Added SnapSync real-time mode.

Enhancements

• SnapSync jobs now use a dedicated source and destination IP address.
