Backup strategy
Wolverine
The table below list the shared folder of Wolverine and how they are backed up.
| Shared folder | Strategy |

| family | CloudStation ShareSync |
| homes | Shared Folder Sync, daily, 3.00am (encryption and block-based) |
| music | CloudStation ShareSync |
| NetBackup | NOT backup |

Notes:
- Because we use rsync to sync the homes share from Wolverine to Mystique, the home service on Mystique must be disabled.
