Page 41: Chapter 4 Storage Management
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
Chapter 4 Storage Management RAID 0 Combines two 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
Chapter 4 Storage Management 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 Storage. Click to the right of “RAID”. Click the array to delete.

Buffalo NAS device, either on the same network or on another network. 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 78: 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 96: Before Configuring Failover
Chapter 5 Backup If the backup TeraStation has not received a packet from the main TeraStation within a specified time, the backup TeraStation considers the main TeraStation to have failed. By default, it will try 5 times and wait 60 seconds. If this is triggered by accident, reconfigure failover from the main TeraStation.
Page 97: Usage Restrictions
To update the firmware while in maintenance mode, the main TeraStation can be updated from Settings, but the backup TeraStation cannot. Download the firmware updater from the Buffalo website for the backup TeraStation and try updating the firmware on it.
