[. . . ] In the Administrator password text box, enter the password for logging in to the Web User Interface. Once the storage system shuts down, if you refresh the browser window, it will be blank. If you subsequently try to access the Web User Interface, an error message will appear, since the storage system will no longer be running. Managing Your Storage System - 73 Serial ATA 4-Drive NAS User Guide Managing Your Storage System - 74 Serial ATA 4-Drive NAS User Guide Accessing the Storage System through FTP and Telnet FTP If you enabled the storage system to act as an FTP server, all Windows or Mac OS X users can use a Web browser to access the public folder and their personal folders. For information about enabling the storage system to act as an FTP server, see "Changing the Network Settings" on page 64 Note: Even if you changed the access rights to the public folder (for example, to prevent a particular user from accessing it altogether or to limit a user to read-only access), all existing users have full read/write access to the public folder when accessing it via FTP. At any Windows or Mac OS X computer, open a Web browser, enter the following in the address bar, and press Enter: ftp://user_name@storage_system where user_name is the user name as defined on the storage system and storage_system is the name or IP address of the storage system (for example, ftp://user1@storage or ftp://user1@192. 168. 0. 101). Note: You can use the storage system name only if that name is registered with a DNS server on your network. You can use guest as the user name, but you will be able to access only the public folder. If prompted, enter your user name and password for accessing shared folders, and then click OK. You have full read/write access to all the folders and files in both the public folder and your personal folder. Even if you browse to other websites, you remain logged in until you close the browser window. (That is, you can return to the FTP site using the Back button in your browser window. Telnet To access the storage system via Telnet, use the user name root and the administrator password that you use to log into the Web User Interface. Accessing the Storage System through FTP and Telnet - 75 Serial ATA 4-Drive NAS User Guide Accessing the Storage System through FTP and Telnet - 76 Serial ATA 4-Drive NAS User Guide Protecting Local Disks Even if most of your data is stored and protected on your storage system, your operating system files, applications, and many other files still reside on each individual computer in your network. If one of those local disks fails, it can take many hours to re-install and reconfigure the operating system and applications on a new or repaired hard disk, and some files might be completely lost. DiskSafe Express is a software application designed to address this issue. On each computer where it is installed, DiskSafe Express provides reliable data protection and rapid data recovery in the event of a system crash or disk failure. DiskSafe Express protects Windows desktops and laptops by backing up their local disks or partitions to the storage system. To make sure that you have recent copies of your local disk, DiskSafe Express can automatically perform a backup at regularly scheduled intervals--either once a day or once a week, whichever you prefer. (You can also disable automatic backups and just perform backups manually at a time of your choosing. ) Up to four backups are saved on the storage system; each time a new backup is performed, the oldest backup is automatically deleted. Local computer running DiskSafe Express® local disk LAN USR 8700 Attached Storage copies of local disk To ensure that valuable storage space isn't used up by duplicate data, when DiskSafe Express performs each subsequent backup, it copies only the data that has changed since the last time a backup was performed. This also minimizes the impact on your network. Through unique technology on the storage system, each backup is a complete point-in-time image. You can view or recover the entire disk or partition exactly as it existed at a particular date and time. Whenever you want to recover data from the storage system, you can do so quickly and easily. If you need to recover just a few folders or files, you can access the desired backup and copy what you need back to your local disk. If the protected disk isn't your system disk (that is, the disk that contains the Windows operating system files that the computer uses when it runs), and you need to recover the whole disk, you can do so using DiskSafe Express.
