IP Address: Enter the IP address of the remote rsync server.

Port: Enter the port used by the rsync service.

User: Enter an account authorized to access the remote rsync server.

Click Create. The target is added to the Backup Server list, and its connection status is displayed.

Delete Backup Server Targets #
