Ultimate data protection

ASUSTOR NAS makes use of RAID storage technology to provide protection for your data. RAID mainly revolves around the core concept of combining your disks to protect the data inside. ASUSTOR offers a number of different RAID level

conﬁgurations that you can choose from when creating storage volumes. Each RAID level offers a differing degree of

data protection, system performance and storage space. ASUSTOR’s supported RAID levels are summarized in the

chart below:

Supreme Stability and Security

Highly stable storage equipment is critical in enterprise

environments. The AS6212RD is equipped with a powerful Intel processor and 4GB of memory, providing stable and reliable operation. This combines with

ADM’s RAID storage technology and AES 256-bit folder

based encryption to provide efﬁcient multi-user access

and data security.

Hardware Redundancy

The built-in redundant power supply and 4 Gigabit

Ethernet ports effectively increase reliability, data

integrity and execution speeds. The Ethernet ports and power supply all feature failover capabilities (when one fails, the other can continue to operate) in order to ensure

for continuous data availability.

Secure Disk Tray Lock Design

In order to help users avoid accidentally pushing disk tray buttons and releasing hard disks during operation, ASUSTOR

has added a new lock mechanism to its hard disk trays. The lock's flat-head design ensures that users will not need any special keys or tools to unlock it, only a simple flat-head screw driver. The new disks trays can be used with all ASUSTOR NAS devices, providing an additional layer of security for applications requiring the frequent swapping of hard disks (e.g., MyArchive).

“Find Me” Function and Service Light for Server Rooms

In enterprise environments, storage devices are commonly placed together in a server room. In order to allow administrators to quickly ﬁnd the NAS from among many servers the AS6212RD provides a dedicated button on front panel. When this button is pressed, the LED service light on the rear panel of the NAS will light up. ASUSTOR also offers the mobile NAS management app, AiMaster which provides the exclusive Find Me function. When Find Me is activated, the system status light on the front of the NAS will flash and the system buzzer will sound, helping users to quickly ﬁnd the NAS.

Strengthen ADM Account Security

2-Step veriﬁcation provides additional security for your ADM account. After conﬁguration, in addition to your ADM account password, you will also need a phone veriﬁcation code to sign in to ADM. With 2-step veriﬁcation, you can protect ADM account privacy and ensure data security with both a password and your personal mobile device.

Windows AD Support

Windows Active Directory (AD) is a directory service created by Microsoft, widely used by many corporations, that allows IT administrators to centralize and manage resources over a network. Understanding the account integration needs that businesses have, ASUSTOR has ensured that all its NAS devices are able to seamlessly integrate with Windows AD. After an ASUSTOR NAS has been successfully added to a Windows AD domain, AD users will then be able to use their own AD accounts to log in to and access the NAS. This provides simple and efﬁcient management for IT staff as they do not need to create new accounts for every NAS added to the domain.

Easy management

Managing large scale IT environments have always been the heaviest burden for IT managers. ASUSTOR has made continuous efforts in this area to help IT staff simplify their responsibilities and reduce their burden. ADM's easy to use interface provides management tools for network users and groups, allowing IT administrators to conﬁgure different folder access rights for each Windows AD user and group.

Advanced File Permissions Management - Windows ACL

For IT professionals, ﬁle permissions conﬁguration is a very important topic, especially in enterprise environments. Because the native Linux system ﬁle permission mechanisms are different than those in Windows, in the past, IT professionals had to create a separate set of permissions for ﬁles stored on NAS servers. This also limited the number of permission conﬁguration options that were available to them.

In order to help IT professionals simply their work, ASUSTOR has comprehensively integrated Windows ACL into ADM. Windows ACL provides a set of 13 different permissions settings, allowing administrators to conﬁgure permissions for individual ﬁles and folders that can be applied to different groups and users. Windows ACL permissions can be conﬁgured from within ADM's File Explorer or Microsoft Windows Explorer allowing administrators to easily manage

permissions using familiar methods.

Seamless Cross-Platform File Sharing

ASUSTOR NAS devices provide seamless cross-platform ﬁle sharing, allowing you to easily connect to your NAS device no matter if you are using Windows, Mac OS, or Unix-like operating systems. The transfer protocols that you may use to connect to an ASUSTOR NAS device are as follows:

Windows: CIFS/SMB, FTP and WebDAV Mac OS X: AFP, SMB, NFS, FTP and WebDAV Linux: NFS, SMB, FTP and WebDAV

Supports Let’s Encrypt

The Certiﬁcate Manager in ASUSTOR NAS can directly connect to Let’s Encrypt to generate a valid certiﬁcate and install it automatically. This helps you to enhance NAS security with an SSL connection in a fast and easy way at zero cost.

Enhanced Recycle Bin mechanism

The Network Recycle Bin mechanism is now based on individual shared folders rather than storage volumes. According to their needs, users can decide whether or not to enable a Network Recycle Bin for each individual shared folder, enjoying added conﬁguration flexibility. Files that are moved to the Recycle Bin maintain their original directory structure, allowing added convenience should users need to search for already deleted ﬁles. The simple one-click restore function will restore selected ﬁles to their original directory path while conveniently maintaining all properties and permissions settings.

Online Capacity Expansion

Insufﬁcient 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 off 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

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 offer incremental backup. Incremental backup allows for successive backup jobs (after your ﬁrst backup job) to only copy data that has changed since your last backup job. Rsync is suitable for use with ﬁles and data that are always changing. It lets you cut down on backup time while signiﬁcantly reducing bandwidth usage.

A rich and flexible 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 effectively simpliﬁes data backup while also substantially reducing the burden on IT staff. ASUSTOR's Rsync backup function may be used to complete tasks such as:

- 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

Regular backups of your vital data

The External backup function supports two-way data transfers, incremental backups and also the scheduling of your NAS to perform regular backup jobs. It may be used to complete tasks such as:

- The transfer or backup of the data from your NAS to an external device.

- Initializing the copying of data from an external device to your NAS

Create a hybrid cloud, protect and secure your data

Now home and business users alike can back up the data from their ASUSTOR NAS to popular cloud storage services, including Amazon S3, Google Drive, HiDrive, Dropbox, OneDrive, hubiC, further ensuring the protection of their data. This means that in the event that the data on your NAS is damaged you will be able to immediately restore it from

cloud storages.

Ideal off-site backup solution

Using the internal backup function allows users to completely utilize the SATA interface’s 6Gbps high speed transfers to backup data to MyArchive hard disks. No matter if it’s conﬁdential data storage or the archiving of video recording ﬁles, all can be scheduled to be backed up to MyArchive hard disks and then transferred to a secure location for safekeeping, meeting the goals of limitless expansion and off-site backup.

Windows Backup

ASUSTOR's Backup Plan software for Windows provides you with worry-free backup. Simply schedule a regular backup job of your PC to your NAS, then let Backup Plan take care of the rest. Backup Plan will work in the background to ensure that your PC is always backed up.

Any data that is lost between scheduled backups is unprotected. Backup Plan lets you conﬁgure real time ﬁle synchronization for those important and ever-changing ﬁle folders. Any changes that you make to your protected ﬁles and folder will be updated in real time. Now you can rest assured knowing that your critical ﬁles are always protected

and up to date.

Time Machine Backup

Mac lovers rejoice! You can use your Mac's built-in backup, Time Machine, to easily back up your Mac to an ASUSTOR NAS. All ASUSTOR NAS devices have been optimized for use with Time Machine, providing Mac lovers with a familiar

and easy to use backup solution.

ASUSTOR NAS does not just use one group account to carry out backup jobs for all Mac users, storing all their jobs under the same directory. With ASUSTOR NAS each Mac user is able to use an independent account and backup location thereby guaranteeing privacy for all.

Mission Mode

Never again worry about your critical backup jobs

stopping or failing to complete because your ASUSTOR

NAS won't stop until it’s “mission complete”. Sometimes

backup jobs may be stopped because of various

connection problems with a busy server on the other end. For Rsync, FTP, external and cloud backups, ASUSTOR’s Mission Mode allows you to conﬁgure the

number of connection attempts and time interval for connection attempts, ensuring for the successful completion of your backup mission. This also gives IT

administrators a signiﬁcant amount of flexibility when conﬁguring backup jobs.

NAS hard disks on the go

The MyArchive function allows you to use hard disks as removable storage archives. Plug in an archive when you need it and swap it out for a different archive when you don't. Enjoy "plug and play" convenience as you swap between different data collections. Furthermore, the MyArchive function helps you to save power as the archives you are not using can be taken out for storage and do not always have to be powered on.
