BTRFS is a computer storage format that combines a file system based on the copy-on-write (COW) principle with a logical volume manager (not to be confused with Linux’s LVM), developed together. It was initially designed at Oracle Corporation in 2007 for use in Linux, and since November 2013, the file system’s on-disk format has been declared stable in the Linux kernel. According to Oracle, Btrfs “is not a true acronym.”

TerraMaster Folder Mirror (TFM) Backup is a reliable and dedicated backup tool for the TNAS system’s shared folders. Through TFM Backup, backup shared folders in TNAS that are readily available are sent to other local folders. Users can schedule the backups for automation and choose between mirror and differential backups.

Duple Backup

Duple Backup delivers straightforward yet robust backup and restore functions and is another disaster recovery tool developed to boost the data security of TNAS devices. Duple Backup is the perfect protection against hardware and system failure. It helps with multiple backup strategies of accumulative backup and multi-version backup.
