HP Mv2120 - Media Vault Network Drive User Manual page 70

The Media Vault comes with five shared folders already created: Backup,
Documents, Music, Photos, and Videos. These initial folders cannot be
deleted or renamed.
Type
•
Mirrored - A mirrored share automatically stores an exact copy of files

on a second hard drive. Using a mirrored share reduces the chance of
you losing critical files if one hard drive fails.
Non-mirrored - A non-mirrored share is stored on a single hard drive.

The HP Media Vault does not automatically maintain a copy of these files
on a second hard drive.
USB - You can add external USB storage devices to any of the HP Media

Vault's USB ports. Small USB devices, such as key disks and jump drives,
can be attached. Likewise, portable devices, such as cameras and
phones, can be attached if the Media Vault detects those devices as USB
storage devices. If you have any questions, check with the USB
manufacturer to verify that the device is classified as a USB storage
device.
Access
•
Public - Public folders give everyone on your network equal access.
However, you can check Protect Shared Folder and create a
shared folder password to add some security. With password
protection enabled, all network users enter the same password to
access the shared folder.
To browse shared folders from an Internet browser on a computer
within your home network or remotely, the public shared folders must
be password enabled or the folder must be set to private (see below).
