Backup/Restore Settings

From the Administration > Backup/Restore Settings window, you can backup and

restore system settings.

NOTE It is good practice to periodically back up the system settings, especially if

changes are made to the NAS configuration and saved to your computer. Since the

NAS backup config files are always named the same (backupdata.bin), you can

save the backup config files either in uniquely-named folders (for example,

backup041310) or rename the config file (for example, default name is

backupdata.bin; rename to backup041310.bin).

To configure the system backup and restore settings:

STEP 1 Choose Administration > Backup/Restore Settings from the Navigation menu.

The Backup/Restore Settings window opens.

STEP 2 Enter the parameters:

Backup System Settings

• Backup—Click to backup all of the system settings, including the NAS user

accounts, server name, system application settings, network services

settings, and network configuration.

Restore System Settings

• Restore—Click Restore to restore all of the settings.
