Understanding Volumes and Shares
By default, your BlackArmor server is configured with one volume and two shares: Download
and Public. A volume is storage space that can be made up of one or more disk drives, or of
only part of a single disk drive. A share is a folder. Shares are created within volumes.
The default volume and shares are appropriate for typical use, so that you can get started
storing, sharing, and protecting your files right away. However, as a BlackArmor
administrator, you can also use BlackArmor Manager to create more volumes and shares on
your BlackArmor server if you want to divide the total storage space into smaller amounts that
you can allocate for different uses.
For instance, you could create three volumes to hold different types of information:
•
Volume A: Business Files
•
Volume B: Backup File Storage
