LaCie 5big Backup Server
Configuration Guide

1. Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of a LaCie 5big Backup Server.
Offering expansive file sharing and backup features, the 5big Back-
up Server is designed to satisfy the daily needs of small offices that
are looking for an easy solution to network storage. Powered by Mi-
crosoft® Windows Home Server®, the 5big Backup Server provides
a familiar interface while managing your data, software, backups,
and more. There are many additional benefits, such as remote ac-
cess to your files from anywhere in the world and the fun of sharing
digital media among all users and digital media adapters.
Superior Design
The 5big Backup Server's advanced metal casing and thermoreg-
ulator fan ensure long-lasting reliability and quiet operation. The
glowing blue button adds more than character—one push will turn
your 5big Backup Server on. Sturdy disk trays are easy to remove for
maintenance and lock securely in place for safety.
Folder Duplication
The 5big Backup Server allows for instant control of your files via
folder duplication. Rather than taking up valuable disk space with
unnecessary duplication, you get to choose which files should be
mirrored at the folder level. Since your critical files are copied to
separate disks, you can rest assured that your data is secure in the
unlikely event of disk failure.
Easy Setup & Access
Installing the Windows Home Server Connector is a snap, leaving
you ready to share folders and begin backups of all the computers
on your network in a very short time. Networking has never been
so easy!
