Both me a NV+ ware shell i start?
Hi all! This is my first NAS ever! Well messed around with FreeNAS with 2 60g ATA disks for fun lol! (don't count that :-D ) Edit! RND4000-EUS100 Well my network here at home is like this * ...
When I got my NV+ (Infrant at the time) some 4 1/2 years ago, the first thing I did was read through the user manual, several times. There was a lot I did not fully understand, and when I reached those areas in the set up, I just let it stay with the default settings.
My setup was using it as a file server so that all my files would be in one location. I would caution you however, to always make sure you have a current and complete backup. The rule is basically do not store any important/critical data on a single device. Keep in mind that even when you add the next drive and achieve redundancy, that is not a backup. It makes it easier to recover from a drive failure, but will not help if you have problems with the NAS, or if there is a catastrophic loss of the NAS (fire, theft, weather, etc).
I initially used a USB external drive connected to my PC and copied the files over by copy/paste as it was a process I was familiar with. You can progress to connecting the USB drive to the NAS directly and using the frontview backup jobs.
You did not specify whether you have an NV+(v1) or NV+(v2). If you have an RND4xxx-100NAS, it is a v1, if you have an RND4xxx-200NAS, it is a v2. There are significant differences between the two, including very different Frontview screens.
