Network storage share
Note
Network Storage share and Local Storage cannot be used at the same time. Enabling
one will automatically disable the other.
A network share is a shared folder or drive on a local Windows PC, or a PC running
another operating system capable of SMB sharing (such as a Linux PC running the
SAMBA service).
Refer to your operating system’s documentation for details on creating a network share.
What follows are some basic instructions for creating a network share under Windows
XP.
Create a new user account:
Note
We recommend that you create a special user account to be used by the SnapGear
unit for reading and writing to the network share. If you have an existing account or
wish to make the network share readable and writeable by everyone, you may skip
the next step.
To create an account, click Start > Control Panel > User Accounts > Create a new
account. Type a name for the new account, e.g., sguser, and click Next. Typically it
is sufficient to grant this account Limited privileges. Click Create Account to create
it. Select the account you have just created under Pick an account to change.
Select Create a password. Enter and confirm a password for this account, as well as
a password hint if desired.
