Qnap nas setup guide

Storing data on public cloud services like Google Drive and Dropbox not only require subscription fees, but they also can have storage limits and potential security and accessibility concerns. If you own a NAS, you have full control over your data, including the ability to access it remotely via the Internet, and to securely share its content with friends and family.

The additional apps and features of a NAS can also enable smarter home and working lifestyles, including the ability to build a Plex Server for enjoying streaming to all of your devices.

Taking a snapshot is like taking a photo - within seconds the complete status of your system and data is recorded. The resulting snapshot can then be used to restore data to its recorded state — making it a reliable backup method for protecting against malware and accidental data modification. Snapshot files are also small in size and can be quickly backed up to another QNAP NAS or device to effectively double your data protection. A home NAS is mainly used for storing family photos, office documents, high-definition video collections, and other multimedia files.

Some of the storage space is reserved for future use. Storage Settings……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. Disk Health Settings………………………………………………………………………………………………………………. Snapshot Settings………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Whether it is the storage and sharing of information, the streaming of photos, music and video to computers and smart devices, or the ability to have a private cloud that allows access to information from anywhere, a QNAP NAS can do it all with aplomb. But this power and flexibility comes at a price: setting up a QNAP NAS for the very first time can seem a daunting prospect for someone who has not done so before. This guide, based around the latest version of QTS and covering Windows PCs, Macs and portable devices, with easy-to-follow instructions and over illustrations, will take you through it from start to finish and help ensure that your home or small business network is a success.

It is written according to the Goldilocks Principle: not too little information, not too much information, but just the right amount. Get A Copy. Kindle Edition , pages. More Details Friend Reviews.
