core concept of combining your disks to protect the data inside. ASUSTOR oers a number of dierent RAID level congurations
that you can choose from when creating storage volumes. Each RAID level oers a diering degree of data protection, system
performance and storage space. ASUSTOR’s supported RAID levels are summarized in the chart below:

Online Capacity Expansion
Insucient storage space forcing you to consider upgrading your NAS to one with more disk bays?
ASUSTOR NAS supports online capacity expansion¹ which means that you can easily swap out all your old disks for higher
capacity ones without turning o your NAS. Now you can increase the storage capacity of your NAS without worrying about
getting an entire new system.
During the capacity expansion process, while your data is being
transferred over to the new disks, you will still be able to access
everything on the NAS. Online capacity expansion does not
require any advanced IT skills to execute and helps you to
eliminate cumbersome backup and migration procedures.
When it's time to upgrade your NAS's capacity, ASUSTOR
simply gets the job done for you without missing a beat.
¹ You must use RAID 1, 5, 6, or 10
Seamless system migration
Outgrowing your system? Time for an upgrade? With ASUSTOR
NAS, switching to a higher capacity NAS model is a piece of
cake. When it's time to move your storage volumes to a new
system, simply take out your existing hard drives and then
insert them into the new system. That's it. Your new system
will be up and running instantly.
Account Management
ADM's account management function allows you to easily
create, edit or remove user accounts on the ASUSTOR NAS.
You also have the option of creating dierent user groups.
Conguring access rights for a group will allow the rights to
be applied to all the users in the group making for ecient
management. ASUSTOR's account management features
not only allow you to assign dierent folder access rights
to each user on the NAS but also gives you optimal management
eciency while ensuring the protection of your data.
A rich and exible backup solution
ASUSTOR's Rsync Backup function supports two-way data
transfers, incremental backup, encrypted backup and also
the scheduling of your NAS to perform regular backup jobs.
It eectively simplies data backup while also substantially
reducing the burden on IT sta. ASUSTOR's Rsync backup
function may be used to complete tasks such as:
The ultimate tool for remote backup
Rsync is an application originally developed for UNIX that
is usually used for backup and sync between two computers.
By providing block level replication, Rsync is able to oer
incremental backup. Incremental backup allows for successive
backup jobs (after your rst backup job) to only copy data
that has changed since your last backup job. Rsync is suitable
for use with les and data that are always changing. It lets
you cut down on backup time while signicantly reducing
bandwidth usage.
- The transfer or backup of data from your NAS to an Rsync
compatible server
- Initiating downloads of the data from an Rsync compatible
server to your NAS
