Chapter 3 Conguring Access Restrictions

TeraStation allows you to set permissions for users or groups to access specic shared folders. Four types of Access Restrictions are available:

• Access Restrictions for Users and/or Groups on the TeraStation

Follow the procedure on page 23 to congure.

• Access Restrictions on NT Domain

Follow the procedure on page 25 to congure.

• Access Restrictions on Active Directory

Follow the procedure on page 27 to congure.

Notes:

• This chapter describes the procedure to use Active Directory with Windows 2000 Server, Server 2003, and Server

2008.

• Depending on the security settings, the TeraStation may not be able to join, or may be able to join but may not be authenticated by a domain. In such a case, it is recommended to restrict access by delegating authority.

• Restrict access by delegating authority

Follow the procedure on page 29 to congure.

Notes:

• Access restrictions on the TeraStation are congured for shared folders in the root folder. Subfolders inherit their permissions from their parent folder and may not be congured separately.

• Permissions on the TeraStation are congured from within the Web Admin interface. Changing TeraStation

permissions on the y from within Windows or OS X is not supported.

Adding a Shared Folder

Notes:

• Shared folder names can contain up to 27 bytes (UTF-8). Alphanumeric characters, multi-byte characters,

-(hyphen), and _(underscore) may be used. Do not use a symbol as the rst character.

•Shared folder descriptions can contain up to 75 bytes (UTF-8). Alphanumeric characters, multi-byte characters,

-(hyphen), _(underscore), and spaces may be used. Do not use a symbol as the rst character.

• You may create up to 400 shared folders on the TeraStation.

You have created a new shared folder.

1 In the Web Admin interface, click [Shared Folders] - [Folder Setup].

2 Click [Create Folder].

1 Congure the desired settings for the new folder.

2 Click [Save].

[Recycle Bin]

Each shared folder on the TeraStation that is connected by SMB may have the recycle bin enabled or disabled from within the Web Admin interface. If enabled, deleted data from a shared folder will be temporarily moved to a [Trashbox] subfolder. To recover deleted data, open the [Trashbox] folder and move les.

Notes: To delete all les in the Recycle Bin, click [Shared Folders] - [Folder Setup] - [Empty recycle bin of each

folder] on the Web Admin interface.

[Read Only] Shares

A folder may be congured as read-only by selecting [Read Only] from [Shared Folder Attributes]. Notes: The default setting is [Read & Write].

A shared folder whose attribute is set to [Read Only] is read-only for all users, even if they are assigned write permissions on the share. When a shared folder is congured to [Read Only], the message “(Read Only)” is added to the description of that share folder.

[Hide Share]

In the Web Admin interface, click [Shared Folders] and select [Hide Share] on [Folder Mode (SMB Only) ]. Click [Save].

Only SMB shares may be hidden. If other protocols are checked for the share, such as [Apple], [Ftp], or [SFTP], you cannot select [Hide Share].

To open a hidden share, click [Start] - [Run] and enter \\TeraStation Name\Shared Folder name$\. Example: If your TeraStation is named “TS-XL001” with the default share “share” hidden, enter \\TS-XL001\share$\.

Technical Restrictions

• Windows does not support some characters that OS X and the TeraStation allow. So, if you create a lename on a Mac

with any of the following characters, it will not display correctly on a Windows computer. With Mac OS X 10.2 or later, you may have to connect to the TeraStation via AFP in order to display or copy any of the following characters: ? [ ] / ¥ = + < > ; : ” , | *

• Do not use any of the following words as a Username or Group Name: root, bin, daemon, sys, adm, tty, disk, lp, sync,

shutdown, halt, operator, nobody, mail, news, uucp, ftp, kmem, utmp, shadow, users, nogroup, all, none, hdusers, admin, guest, man, www, sshd, administrator, ftpuser, apache, mysql.

• Do not use any of the following words as a shared folder name: info, spool, usbdisk1, usbdisk2, usbdisk3, usbdisk4,

usbdisk5, lost+found, global, printers, homes, lp, auth, ram, disk1, disk2, disk3, disk4, disk5, disk6, disk7, disk8, array1, array2, array3, array4.

• When using multi-byte characters (such as Japanese), make folder and le names with 80 bytes or less. Total

pathlength is limited to 1024 bytes. You may not be able to copy a folder or le whose name is more than 80 bytes characters long, or whose pathname is more than 1024 bytes total.

• You cannot set hidden or read-only attributes to folders or les on a TeraStation from Windows. To set an attribute for

a share on the TeraStation, use the Web Admin interface. In [Shared Folders] - [Folder Setup], click the shared folder you want to congure. Select [Read Only] or [Read & Write] from [Shared Folder Attributes], and [Hide Share] from [Folder Mode (SMB Only)].

• If local characters aren’t displayed properly in a Shared Folder or Workgroup name, use alphabetical character.

• If you access a shared folder from a Macintosh computer, information les for Macintosh may be automatically

generated. Do not delete these les from a Windows computer. Otherwise, you may no longer access folders from Macintosh.

• A volume name mounted by [Finder] from Mac OS X 10.3.9 may be corrupted when connected via SMB. File names

and data should be ne.

• On Mac OS X 10.5 - 10.5.6, you cannot search by Spotlight while connected via AFP. In such a case, use SMB

connection or use Mac OS X 10.5.7 or later.

• TeraStation belongs to the default zone specied by an AppleShare Server. You cannot specify a zone.

• Date and Time stamp information stored on a TeraStation’s hard disk or a USB hard disk connected to the TeraStation

may be updated by an attached OS, and its accuracy cannot be guaranteed.

• If you display size of hard drives through the Web Admin interface, it will show a larger value than that shown by

Windows’ drive properties.

• If you change a TeraStation’s settings or add a USB hard drive while transferring les, the le transfer may be aborted.

• Copying les to TeraStation is protected by the Journaling File System. However, if power is suddenly disconnected in

the middle of a le copy, the following events may occur:

- Data congured (TeraStation, User or Group names) may be lost.

- The copied le may be incomplete and it may not be deleted. In such a case, restart TeraStation and delete the le, and try copying the le again.

• Although you format TeraStation’s hard disk, [Percent Used] or [Amount Used] in the Web Admin interface will not show 0 (zero). This is because some space is used for the system.

• Set the TeraStation’s username and password the same as the user’s username and password for logging into the Windows network. If they are dierent, you may not be able to access share folders with access restrictions.

• Click [Shared Folders] - [Folder Setup] - [Empty recycle bin of each folder] in the Web Admin interface to delete all of the contents of the [Recycle Bin] folder in the shared folder.

• Do not set the same network address for LAN port 1 and LAN port 2, or data transmission may be unstable.

• If you want to access a dierent network from the TeraStation, use LAN port 1. LAN port 2 cannot access beyond the local subnet as it doesn’t have a default gateway.

Examples: You cannot use Mail Notication (cannot nd the mail server), or you cannot nd a TeraStation by IP address

to congure as a backup destination. To resolve, place the TeraStation on the same subnet as the device that you are trying to connect to via LAN port 2.

Adding Users

Notes:

• Usernames can contain up to 20 bytes (UTF-8). Do not use multi-byte characters. Alphanumeric characters, -(hyphen), _(underscore), .(dot), !, #, &, @, $, *, ^, % may be used. Do not use a symbol as the rst character.

• User descriptions can contain up to 75 bytes (UTF-8). Alphanumeric characters, multi-byte characters, -(hyphen), _(underscore), and spaces may be used. Do not use a symbol and space as the rst character.

• You may register up to 300 local users with the TeraStation.

• Passwords can contain up to 20 bytes (UTF-8). Do not use multi-byte characters. Alphanumeric character and the following characters may be use: - _ @ ! # $ % & ‘ ( ) * + , . / ; < > = ? [ ] ^ { } | ~ Do not use a symbol except -(hyphen) as the rst character.

• Set the TeraStation’s username and password the same as the user’s username and password for logging into the Windows network. If they are dierent, the user may not be able to access shared folders with access restrictions.

• Repetitive deletions and additions of users may cause the Quota feature to not work properly. Even though the data is copied by the backup function of the TeraStation, the Quota feature may not work properly if a user ID/group ID is duplicated. In such a case, use a user name/group name of an unused user ID or group ID.

• To assign Quotas for users, check [Enable] for User Quota and enter a limit in GB. Refer to “TeraStation Hard Drive Operating Guide“ for details.

• If the user ID is left blank, a user ID will be automatically assigned. When using the Quota feature, use numbers between 1000 and 1999 to set a group ID manually. Make sure that user ID are unique.

1 Click [Users/Groups] - [Local Users].

2 Click [Create User].

1 Enter [Username], [Description], and [Password].

2 Click [Save].

Importing Users

To import many users at once, enter the following information in the [Input CSV format data] eld on [Users/ Groups] - [Local Users] on the Web Admin interface, and click [Import].

Format of the user information: Username (required), Password (required), and Description (optional)

Example) username1, password1, description1 username2, password2, description2 username3, password3, description3 … … …

Notes: • It may take about 1 hour depending on the number of users you import. Please note that you cannot use

the Web Admin interface while the system is busy.

• Use commas as separators. Do not use spaces before or after the commas.

• If a line is incorrectly formatted, then the user in that line will not be registered.

• If a username is already registered on the TeraStation, that user will be overwritten.

• Commas should not be used in usernames, passwords, or user descriptions

Adding Groups

Notes:

• Group names can contain up to 20 bytes (UTF-8). Do not use multi-byte characters. Alphanumeric characters,

-(hyphen), _(underscore), and .(dot) may be used. Do not use a symbol as the rst character.

• Group descriptions can contain up to 75 bytes (UTF-8). Alphanumeric characters, multi-byte characters, -(hyphen), _(underscore), and spaces may be used. Do not use space as the rst character.

• You may register up to 300 groups with the TeraStation.

• Repetitive deletions and additions of groups may cause the quota feature to not work properly. Even though the data is copied by the backup function of the TeraStation, the Quota feature may not work properly if a user ID/group ID is duplicated. In such a case, use a user name/group name of an unused user ID or group ID.

Oine Files

Your PC can access les from the TeraStation even when it’s not connected to the network if Oine Files are enabled. Oine Files are updated and saved on the computer when it’s online. Oine Files work with Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional, Vista, and Windows 7. Windows Me and XP Home Edition are not supported.

Congure your PC to use les oine as follows:

1 In the Web Admin interface, select [Shared Folders] - [Folder Setup].

If you're running Windows 7, skip steps 4 & 5 and move to step 6.

Select a folder to be available oine. Double-click on the folder’s name.

From the [Oine Files] dropdown, select [Manual Cache Files], [Automatic Cache Files] or [Automatic Cache Programs and Files].

[Manual Cache Files] - Manually select the les to be available oine.

[Automatic Cache Files] - Opened les are cached locally and may

be used oine. Old les that cannot be synchronized will be deleted automatically and replaced by new ones.

[Automatic Cache Programs and Files] - Opened les are cached locally and may be used oine. Old les and network applications that cannot be synchronized will be deleted automatically and replaced with new ones.

the TeraStation is on. Oine les can be accessed through the UNC to the original location. Note: If oine les are available, the icon is displayed in the systray.

* Editing Oine Files Oine les can be edited or deleted just like regular les. Dierences between data in dierent locations will be

resolved by re-synchronization when the network connection is re-established.

* Synchronizing Oine Files Oine les are automatically synchronized when you log on or o the network.

* Version Conicts Conicts occur when the oine and original les are both modied dierently before they are re-synchronized. If

conicts occur, the following wizard opens. Step through the wizard to resolve the conicts.

You’ve congured oine les.

DFS (Distributed File System)

Distributed File System (or DFS) combines shares on the network server together into one tree.

In the following example, when the client computer addresses //tera/share/backup, it’s actually looking at les located at //pc_srv/backup. This is transparent to the user of the client computer. If the TeraStation is congured to address multiple DFS shares, then shares on other devices could be addressed as native shares on the TeraStation. For example, //tera/share/share might actually address data located at //link/share.

DFS Link

Host Name: tera

backup

//pc_srv/backup

PC Server

DFS Link

Access to “//tera/share/backup”

Client

//link/share

Notes:

• Bualo does not support using DFS with Mac OS X.

• Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003 cannot properly address DFS link destinations that have access restrictions on one or more folders.

• DFS only works with SMB connections. AFP and FTP connections are not supported.

• Access restrictions congured on DFS link destinations are applied to the shared folder link. Access restrictions on the DFS root or DFS links are not visible.

Set up DFS as described below:

1 In the Web Admin interface, select [Shared Folders] - [DFS].

2 Under [DFS Service], click [Modify Settings].

1 Click [Enable].

2 Choose whether to allow multiple DFS links, or just one.

[No] allows just one DFS link to be addressed.

[Yes] allows up to 8 DFS link destinations to be used.

3 Enter the [DFS root folder name].

4 Click [Save].

4 Under [DFS Links], click [Add Link].

DFS has been congured.

1 Enter [Link Name], [Destination Hostname], and [Destination Folder].

Notes: The following machines can be DFS link destinations:

• TeraStations

• Windows PC with SMB (Mac OS and Linux are not supported)

2 Click [Save].

FTP Server

By default, the TeraStation’s shares are only accessible by users connected to the same network or router as the TeraStation. The optional FTP server allows users to access the TeraStation from outside of the local network. You may enable it as follows.

3 Click [Shared Folders] - [Folder Setup].

In the Web Admin interface, navigate to [Network] [Settings] - [Network Services] and click [FTP].

1 Select [Enable].

2 Click [Save].

Click the folder to enable remote FTP access on.

The folder is now congured for FTP access. Do not forget to give read (or write) permissions for the FTP share to any users that will be accessing the share remotely. Folder permissions can only be changed from the Web Admin interface. Changing them remotely with FTP client software is not supported.

1 Select whether the shared folder is to be [Read Only] or

[Read & Write].

2 Check [Ftp].

3 Click [Save].

To access the TeraStation with an FTP client

Congure your FTP client software with the following settings:

• Host Name IP address of the TeraStation.

• Username Username registered on the TeraStation

• Password Password registered to the TeraStation

• Port 21

Example ftp://192.168.11.150/

• You cannot write by FTP if the shared folder is set to read-only on the TeraStation.

• Access restrictions are applied based on the settings in the TeraStation. The restrictions aren’t displayed for users

without permissions for the share.

• To access your FTP share from outside of your network, you may need to congure your router and rewall. Consult

your router documentation for more information.

• Shared folders appear as follows when connected by FTP:

- disk1 share

- usbdisk1

• The internal hard drive of the TeraStation is displayed as disk1, and a USB hard drive (optional) will be displayed as

usbdisk1.

• ”usbdisk1” is not displayed when the USB hard drive is not connected or access is restricted.

Accessing the TeraStation with an Anonymous user:

To allow anonymous access to your FTP share, disable access restrictions on the FTP share. Congure your FTP client as follows:

• Host Name IP address of the TeraStation

• Username anonymous

• Password any set of characters

• Port 21

Example ftp://192.168.11.150/

• To make your FTP share available from outside your network, you will need to congure your router and rewall.

Consult your router’s documentation for information on how to allow FTP trac.

• If the TeraStation joins a domain, anonymous users cannot access it.

• Folders created or copied via an AFP connection may not be deleted from the AFP connection. This is because an

automatically generated “.AppleDouble” folder begins with a dot. To delete these les, use an SMB connection.

• Do not exceed 250 bytes for a le/folder name including directory path when you are creating it by using an FTP

connection. Otherwise, you cannot view or delete it in Explorer or other applications.

Accessing from a NFS Client

Use the following procedure congure the TeraStation for access from UNIX with NFS. Note: This section is for information only. Unix and NFS are not supported by Bualo. If you choose to congure your

TeraStation this way, it does not void your warranty, but you are on your own for tech support.

1 In the Web Admin interface, select [Network] - [NFS] - [NFS Service], and click [Modify Settings].

Note:

• If you use a public folder of the TeraStation set by NFS as a hard drive for VMware ESX/ESXi, it is required to set [NFS Mode] to [Kernel mode] in order to use it (It is set to [User mode] by default).

• To set access restrictions by IP addresses, specify a [Network Address] and [Subnet Mask] from the screen above.

(e.g.) To allow access from a client with the IP address 192.168.11.xxx: [Network Address]: 192.168.11.0 [Subnet Mask]: 255.255.255.0 xxx can be 1 to 254. Enter 0 (zero) for the [Network Address]. (e.g.) To allow access from a client with the IP address 192.168.xxx.xxx: [Network Address]: 192.168.0.0 [Subnet Mask]: 255.255.0.0 xxx can be 1 to 254. Enter 0 (zero) for the [Network Address]

1 Click [Enable].

2 Click [Save].

3 Click [NFS Folders Setup].

Choose a shared folder.

1 Write down the NFS public path.

2 Click [Enable].

3 Click [Save].

6 Click [NFS Client Setup].

Notes:

• To remove, check the box next to the hostname and click [Delete Client].

• You may be able to connect via NFS from a computer that is not registered as a client.

Click [Add Client].

1 Type [Target Host Name] and [Target IP Address] of the NFS UNIX client.

2 Click [Save].

The IP address and the hostname of the client are added.

10 Examples of commands to access a folder on the TeraStation from the NFS client:

From Linux:

mount -t nfs <IP Address>:<NFS public path for the TeraStation><the mounting point on the local computer>

(e.g.) mkdir /mnt/tsxl mount -t nfs 192.168.11.10:/mnt/array1/share /mnt/tsxl In this example, TeraStation’s IP address is “192.168.11.10”, NFS publishing path is “/mnt/array1/share”,

and a mount point on the local computer is “/mnt/tsxl”.

From Windows Services for Unix 3.5:

mount <IP Address>:<NFS publishing path for the TeraStation> <a network drive’s letter (an error occurs if not available)>

(e.g.) mount 192.168.11.10:/mnt/array1/share z: In this example, TeraStation’s IP address is “192.168.11.10”, NFS publishing path is “/mnt/array1/share”,

and a network drive letter is “z”.

From Solaris10:

mount -<F nfs IP Address>:<NFS publishing path for the TeraStation><the mounting point on the local computer>

(e.g.) mkdir /mnt/tsxl mount -F nfs 192.168.11.10:/mnt/array1/share /mnt/tsxl In this example, TeraStation’s IP address is “192.168.11.10”, NFS publishing path is “/mnt/array1/share”,

and a mount point on the local computer is “/mnt/tsxl”.

Notes:

• Settings on the NFS Client will be applied to le access. However, if you write on root, uid and gid for all will be 99.

• You cannot unify the uid and gid for user management on the TeraStation and for the users on NFS clients.

• Root (admin) rights are required to perform the mount operation.

• If you mount as root for other users, each user will need access rights for the mount point.

You’ve completed the steps to access the TeraStation via NFS.

Encrypting Data Transmission

• Encrypting Data from the Web Admin interface

Access https://<TeraStation’s IP address> instead of http://... to encrypt all data from the Web Admin interface.

Note:

Your computer may display “there is a problem with this site’s security”, but you may ignore this message and work

normally.

• Encrypting FTP Transfer Data

First, in the Web Admin interface, navigate to [Shared Folder Support] - [Ftp]. Check the box by each shared folder to encrypt data transfers. Enable SSL security in your FTP client to encrypt login passwords and les by using SSL/TLS for FTP communication. Examples: In FileZilla’s settings, select [FTP over TLS (explicit encryption)] for the server type. For Smart FTP, select [FTP over SSL explicit] in the settings.

Notes:

• Encryption processes may seriously reduce data transfer speeds. Your transfers may be as much as 10 times slower when using encryption.

• Depending on your computer’s security settings, the message “there is a problem with this site’s security” may be displayed, but you may ignore this message and work normally.

• SSL Key

Note:

This procedure is described for network administrators and advanced users. Do not try to congure this unless you know exactly what you’re doing.

You may use encrypted keys such as https and FTPS for the Web Admin interface operations and FTP connections.

SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is a public key encryption method. SSL operation is managed by 2 les:

(1) server.crt (SSL Certicate)

TeraStation will send this certicate to other computers, which will use it as a key for encryption. The TeraStation will then receive encrypted data and use the server.key (SSL Key) to decrypt them.

This key includes Server Certicate on SSL, and your PC may decide if the certicate can be trusted or not. Your computer may display the message “There is a problem with the site’s security certicate.”

(2) server.key (SSL Key)

This is used to decrypt data encrypted by the server certicate.

Note:

Prepare the decrypted passphrase for the server.key (SSL Key).

Updating SSL Key

To update a server certicate and a private key for SSL, follow the procedure below.

1 In the Web Admin interface, navigate to [Network] - [Settings] - [Network Services] - [Add/Edit SSL Key].

2 Register server.key for [SSL Key] and server.crt for [SSL Certicate], then click [Import].

Note:

Save SSL key les (server.key and server.crt) on the root of Drive C. They should not be saved in a folder or path whose

name includes multi-byte or special characters.

You’ve updated the SSL key.

Notes:

• The SSL key should not be password protected.

• If the Web Admin interface isn’t accessible after updating, initialize the TeraStation.

• Updating the rmware will initialize an SSL key.

Web Server

The TeraStation can be used as a web server. In addition to html les, images, and JavaScript, the TeraStation also allows installation of Perl script and PHP script les. The TeraStation’s web server is for advanced users only. Do not enable it unless you know what you’re doing.

In the Web Admin interface, navigate to [Network] - [Settings] - [IP Address Settings]. Click [Modify Settings].

Select [Enable] for [Web Server]. Choose an external port (81 is the default) and a folder for the web server. Click

[Save].

The Web server is now congured.

Edit the php.ini le to change the PHP language interpreter settings.

Note: The web server uses version 1.4.23 of lighttpd, version 5.8.8 of Perl, and version 5.2.10 of PHP.

MySQL server

The TeraStation can be used as a MySQL server. A MySQL database may be installed and linked with the web server. The TeraStation’s MySQL server is for advanced users only. Do not enable it unless you know what you’re doing.

In the Web Admin interface, navigate to [Network] – [MySQL Server]. Click [Modify Settings].

The MySQL server is now congured.

Select [Enable] for [MySQL Server], choose a [Port No.] and [Data Folder], and click [Save].

Note: The TeraStation uses version 5.0.70 of MySQL server and version 3.2.2 of PhpMyAdmin.

Appendix

Troubleshooting

The TeraStation includes NAS Naviga tor2 on the internal drives in a folder called “info”.

If you can’t access your TeraStation:

The following list contains the typical symptoms and causes when TeraStation cannot be found on NAS Navigator2 or you cannot display the Web Admin interface.

Cause 1 Cables are not connected properly. The hard drive is not physically connected or may have a bad connection. Reconnect the power cable and LAN cable and restart your computer and the TeraStation.

Cause 2 The rewall is enabled, or software running in the background is installed. Disable the rewall, or uninstall the software that includes the rewall. Then search for the TeraStation again.

Cause 3. Both wireless and Ethernet adapter are enabled. Disable any adapters other than the LAN adapter to connect to the TeraStation.

Cause 4 The defective LAN cable or the connection is not stable. Change a port on the hub to connect or replace the LAN cable.

Cause 5 Your LAN board, card, or adapter is malfunctioning. Replace a LAN board, card, or adapter.

Cause 6. The LAN board you are using or the transfer mode of the hub is not set. Change the LAN board, or change the transfer mode to [10M half-duplex] or [100M half-duplex]. Some LAN boards and hubs may not be connected to the network properly if the transfer mode is set to [Auto Negotiation].

Cause 7 There is a network bridge. Delete any unused network bridges.

Cause 8 You are searching from a dierent network. You cannot search for the TeraStation over network segments. Connect the TeraStation to the same subnet as the computer you use for search.

Cause 9 TCP/IP does not work properly. Reinstall the LAN Adapter’s driver.

If Shared folders on the TeraStation would not suddenly open:

If you map Shared Folders on the TeraStation as a Network Drive, you may suddenly not be able to access TeraStation when the IP address or Workgroup is changed. In such a case, open the shared folder on the TeraStation by using NAS Navigator2.

Note:• On Mac OS, TeraStation is mounted as a drive icon on the desktop, or displayed in the sidebar on the Finder.

• If the problem still persists after you tried the procedures described above on Mac OS, select [System] - [Storage]

- [Disks] - [Check Disk] - [Delete any hidden, non-essential MacOS dedicated les] on the Web Admin interface, and click [Check].

If a shared folder does not open even though NAS Navigator2 recognizes the TeraStation

If power outage occurred or the power cable is unplugged while the TeraStation is on, the TeraStation's rmware may be corrupted and shared folders may not open (You can search for folders on NAS Navigator2 but they do not open).

Note: In such a case, TeraStation Name displayed on NAS Navigator2 or Web Admin interface is displayed as TS-QVHL-

EM*** (the example of TS-QVHL Series)*** expresses last 3 digits of the TeraStation's MAC address

In such a case, download the latest rmware from BUFFALO's website (www.bualotech.com) and update it.

Data Backup

While using the TeraStation, you may loose your important data due to sudden accidents, hard disk failure, or accidental misoperation. Back up your data regularly! For best results, back up your data to Bualo drives like the TeraStation, LinkStation, or DriveStation series.
