The default user name is “admin” and the default password is “storage”. Page 27 3.1 Main Menu After logging in, the Home page will be displayed on the screen. The main menu (Figure 3-2) is displayed along the top of every page and allows you to access all of the freeStor 4020’s features.

Page 28 freeStor 4020 User’s Manual disks because some of the disk space is needed for the operating system and management software. In addition, the amount of used backup capacity will be greater than the total size of all the disks listed on the Backups page because additional storage space is needed for the data that has changed between backups. Figure 3-3: Home Page Clicking on the Connection Status button will display a list of users and the shared folders they are connected to (Figure 3-4). Page 29 Figure 3-3: Connections Page 3.3 Users Clicking on the “Users” button in the menu will open the Users Page (Figure 3-5) which allows you to manage the users on the freeStor 4020. Page 30 freeStor 4020 User’s Manual By default, the freeStor 4020 includes a user named “guest” that has a password of “guest”. Windows and OS X users can access all shared folders that the user “guest” is authorized to access. However, for increased security, it is advised that additional users are added as well. Page 31 Figure 3-6: Add User Page 2. The next page that is displayed depends on the type of user being added. For Windows and OS X users, the page shown in Figure 3-7 will be displayed, and for Linux and Mac users, the page shown in Figure 3-8 will be displayed. Page 32 freeStor 4020 User’s Manual Figure 3-8: NFS Add User Page 3. For Windows and OS X users, enter the user name and password users have to enter to access their account. Re-enter the password in the last field and click “Done” to continue. The user name can be up to 20 characters long and must consist of letters and numbers only. Page 33 To edit an existing user: 1. Click the radio button beside the user to edit and click “Edit”. For Windows and OS X users, the page shown in Figure 3-7 will be displayed. Only the password used to access the shared folders can be changed, but not the user name.

This change will not affect current connections, but will take effect the next time someone tries to connect to a shared folder. 2. For Linux and other Mac users, the page shown in Figure 3-8 will be displayed. Page 34 freeStor 4020 User’s Manual Figure 3-9: Groups Page To add a new group: When you create a group, you typically specify which users should be members of that group, although you can create an empty group and add users later. A user must be created from the Users page before being added to a group. Each user can be a member of multiple groups. For example, the user Alice might be a member of both the Marketing and Executives groups. The freeStor 4020 supports up to 16 groups at any one time. Page 35 Figure 3-10: Add Group Page 4. In the “Group name” text box, enter a unique name for the group. This name can be up to 15 characters long and can include letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores. 5. Specify which users should belong to this group, and then click “OK”: To select multiple, contiguous users, hold down the Shift key and select the first user, then select the last user. All users between the first and last selected user are selected. Page 36 freeStor 4020 User’s Manual a group, that user immediately has access to all the shared folders that the group is authorized to access. However, if you remove a user from a group, the change does not take effect until that user disconnects from the shared folder or shuts down the computer. Page 37 have access to the Budget shared folder (since their access rights were determined by their group membership), but Alice will continue to have read-only access, since that access right was granted to her on a user level. To remove a group: 1. In the navigation bar, click Users. 2. In the left pane, click Groups. 3. In the Groups list, select the group that you want to remove. 4. Click “Remove”. 5. When prompted to confirm the removal, click “Yes”. The group no longer appears in the Groups list. 3.

Page 38 freeStor 4020 User’s Manual By default, the freeStor 4020 includes a shared folder named public, and all Windows and OS X users can access it and create, modify, or delete files in the folder unless you change the list of authorized users or their access rights. In addition, when a Windows or OS X user is added, the storage system automatically creates a shared folder with the same name as the person’s user name. Only that user can access that shared folder. Page 39 Figure 3-12: Add Shared Folder Page 2. The next page that is displayed depends on the type of used that was selected. For Windows and OS X users, the page shown in Figure 3-13 will be displayed, and for Linux and Mac users, the page shown in Figure 3-14 will be displayed. Page 40 freeStor 4020 User’s Manual Figure 3-14: NFS Add Shared Folder Page 3. In the Shared folder name text box, enter a unique name for the shared folder, and then click “Next”. This name can be up to 64 characters long and can contain letters, numbers, hyphens, underlines, and spaces. Note: Each shared folder name must be unique. Page 41 Figure 3-15: CIFS Define Folder Permissions Page 41 Page 42 freeStor 4020 User’s Manual Figure 3-16: NFS Define Folder Permissions Page 6. From the Unauthorized users list, select the name of the user(s) who should be given access this shared folder. To select multiple, contiguous users, hold down the Shift key and select the first user, then select the last user. To select multiple, non-contiguous users, hold down the Ctrl key as you select each user. Page 43 Unauthorized users list includes User2 and User3. If you select Group1 and click “Add (Read-Only)”, Group1 moves to the Authorized groups list, but User2 and User3 do not move to the Authorized users list. This allows you to specify unique access rights for those users. Note: Linux and Mac users access shared folders using NFS.

In this environment, access to shared folders is given to entire computers, not to individual users of those computers. Page 45 3.6 Managing Backups Once the users have used DiskSafe Express to back up their computer hard disks to the storage system, clicking on the “Backups” button in the menu will open the Backups Page (Figure 3-17) which displays a list of each computer that has performed a backup, the size of each protected disk, the date and time of the last four backups, and the backup disk ID (the number used to identify the backup on both the storage system and on the Status page in DiskSafe Express). The user must provide this password when recovering a disk from this storage system using the recovery CD. Page 47 Deleting a client If you remove DiskSafe Express from a particular computer, or if you change the computer name, the original computer name remains on the storage system and counts toward the total number of computers that are allowed to back up to the storage system. To both delete all backups of all disks for a particular computer and the computer name, you must delete the client itself. To delete a client: 1. Page 48 freeStor 4020 User’s Manual Figure 3-18: Alerts Page To set up e-mail alerts: 1. Specify whether or not the storage system should send e-mail notifications when a problem occurs by selecting or clearing the “Send e-mail notifications” check box. 2. If you select this option, enter the fully qualified domain name or IP address of your email server and at least one email address. 3. If you clear this option, e-mail notifications will not be sent, and all the related fields on this page appear dimmed. Page 50 freeStor 4020 User’s Manual Restarting the storage system when a backup is occurring will not have any adverse effect; the backup will resume automatically when the storage server resumes operation.

However, restarting the storage system when a disk is being recovered can potentially corrupt the user’s operating system, and the user will have to recover the system disk using the recovery CD (or, if the system disk was not protected, re-install the operating system). Page 51 disks are identified by the names usbdisk1 and usbdisk2. USB printers are identified by the names usbprinter1 and usbprinter2. These names cannot be changed. Figure 3-20: USB Page When you plug a USB device into the storage system, the storage system automatically detects it and adds that device to the USB page. (You might need to click “Scan” to update the display.) However, when you want to unplug a USB device from the storage system, you must first use the Manager to disconnect it. Page 52 freeStor 4020 User’s Manual 3.10 System Settings Clicking on the “Advanced” button in the menu, then clicking “System” on the left menu will open the System page (Figure 3-21) which displays the settings that you specified when you initially configured the storage system, such as the storage system name, and the current date and time. Note: Changing the storage system name might affect access to shared folders or backups, depending on how your network is configured and how users access the storage system. Page 53 Figure 3-21: System Page Using the System page, you can also change the administrator name and password to use for logging in to the Manager. The user name and password are case-sensitive. 2. Click “Apply”. 3. When the confirmation message appears, click “OK”. 3. Page 55 Figure 3-22: Network Page You can also configure the storage system to act as a DHCP server. In other words, the storage system can assign IP addresses to other computers in your network, simplifying the network configuration of each individual system. In addition, your storage system can act as an FTP server. Page 56 freeStor 4020 User’s Manual storage system.

For more information, refer to “Accessing the storage system using FTP”. In the Workgroup name text box, enter the name of the workgroup. This name can be up to 15 characters long. Page 57 3.12 Disk Configuration Clicking on the “Advanced” button in the menu, then clicking “Disks” on the left menu will open the Disks page (Figure 3-23) which displays information about all the hard disks that are currently installed in your storage system. Page 59 Figure 3-24: Disk Configuration Page 5. If you want to add or remove hard disks, do so one at a time and click “Scan” after each action. 6. To accept the default disk configuration (which will provide the best level of data protection available for the number of hard disks currently installed), click “Next”. By default, a linear disk configuration is used for a single hard disk, RAID 1 is used for two hard disks, and RAID 5 is used for three or four hard disks. 7. Page 60 freeStor 4020 User’s Manual Figure 3-25: Disks to Back Up Page 9. In the Number of disks to back up list, select the total number of disks that you plan to back up to this storage system. 10. If some computers have multiple disks, be sure to select the total number of disks that you plan to back up. For example, if your network has five computers and each computer has two hard disks, you would select 10. 11. Page 61 512-MB disk would be.5 GB (512 divided by 1024 is.5). Note: Only 99% of the available storage space can be allocated for backups. If the amount of disk space you need exceeds that limit, you will not be able to back up all the disks. 18. The Disk Space Distribution page (Figure 3-26) appears: Figure 3-26: Disk Space Distribution Page 19. To change the percentage of space allocated for shared folders and backups, enter the desired percentage for each usage type. (The percentages must add up to 100%.
