Introduction
The Seagate NAS is a file server that is used for storing and sharing all types of computer
files on a local network.
In general, you can use your Seagate NAS to:
• Create a central storage place for the files you want to share with other people on your
local network or over the Internet.
• Create and maintain automatic backup copies of all your files—even your operating
systems.
• Share your files—contracts, business presentations, progress reports, and so on—on
your local network or with business clients over the Internet.
• Recover from a computer disaster, such as the unintentional deletion of important files,
the failure of a disk drive, the loss or theft of your computer.
• Access your Seagate NAS content over the Internet from anywhere in the world.
• Share a USB printer with other people on your local network.
• Create a media server so that everyone on your local network can enjoy downloaded
