  • Page 41: Chapter 4 Storage Management

    Chapter 4 Storage Management RAID Modes TeraStations support many types of RAID. The type of RAID arrays available for use depends on how many drives are installed in your TeraStation. Notes: • If you change the RAID mode, all data on the array is deleted. This is true for every procedure in this chapter. Always back up any important data before performing actions that affect your RAID array.

  • Page 42: Working With Raid Arrays

    RAID 0 Combines 2 or more drives into a single array. The usable drive space is the total space of all drives used. This simple RAID mode offers faster performance than RAID modes that include parity. If a single drive in the array fails, then all data in the array is lost.

  • Page 43: Changing Raid Mode

    Click OK when finished. Once JBOD is configured, create shared folders on each drive to use them. Changing RAID Mode To change the RAID mode, first put the drives in JBOD. From Settings, click Drives. Click to the right of “RAID”. Click the array to delete.

    Note: You can also configure backup jobs from Easy Admin. Preparing a Backup Destination First, configure a shared folder on a Buffalo NAS device or connected USB device as a backup destination. The following procedure explains using another shared folder on a TeraStation as a backup destination. The procedure may vary depending on which Buffalo NAS device is selected as a destination.

  • Page 87: Configuring A Backup Job

    You can configure backup jobs by using another shared folder on the Buffalo NAS device or a USB drive connected to the TeraStation as a destination. You can also back up to a Buffalo NAS device on another network as long as the two networks are connected by a VPN or the route is configured properly.
  • Page 88 If you had configured a backup device access key for the backup source folder on another Buffalo NAS device or the backup destination folder, click Set. If you didn’t, skip to step 5. Enter the backup device access key and click OK.
