RAID1
If you have a single disk in your Stora, your data is not protected against disk failure. By
adding a second disk, you can make a mirrored backup and protect your data against disk
failure.
For more information about configuring RAID1, see "RAID1" on page 108.
It is best to use Stora Application to stop a disk drive before removing it, to ensure maximum
data consistency. There is no need to power the system down. See "Replacing a Failed Disk"
on page 25.
JBOD
If you have two disks in your Stora, you have the option to implement JBOD rather than
RAID1. You can increase your storage capacity by choosing to use the disk as a second
storage drive, rather than mirroring the data between disks as with RAID1.
For more information about configuring JBOD, see "JBOD" on page 109.
WARNING!
Although JBOD will increase storage capacity to the total capacity
of both disks, it provides NO protection against disk failure. JBOD
should not be used if you are storing important irreplaceable data
such as digital photographs. NETGEAR assumes no responsibility
for lost data and does not offer data recovery services if a drive
fails.
FTP
You can upload and download files from your Stora using FTP (file transfer protocol). FTP
provides access to your MyLibrary folders. If your account has access, FTP also provides
access to the FamilyLibrary folders.
The router must forward port 21 to Stora. This is set up automatically if the router has UPnP
enabled.
FTP must be enabled in Preferences > Server Preferences > Network Services. Set
Enable FTP access to your local LAN and Enable FTP access to the Internet to Yes.
To connect via FTP locally, browse to
Stora by right-clicking Stora Agent icon, selecting Preferences, and then selecting the Home
Library(s) Found tab.
To connect remotely, browse to
