• Shared folders with limited access can still be used as backup destinations.

Adding a Shared Folder

1 In Settings, click File Sharing.

File Sharing

2 Click to the right of "Folder Setup".

Folder Setup 4 Folder(s)

3 Click Create Folder.

Configure the desired settings, then click OK.

Shared Folder Settings *Required ? Copy settings from: Name *: Description: Volume: Array1 Attribute: ○ Read Only ○ Read & Write Recycle Bin: ○ Enable ○ Disable LAN Protocol Support: ✓ SMB (Windows/Mac) ✓ AFP (Mac) □ FTP □ Backup □ DLNA □ WebAccess □ SFTP □ NFS — NFS Path—— Folder Attributes: □ Hidden Share (SMB Only) Remote Backup Password: WebAccess Public Mode: Allow Anonymous Offline Files: Manual File Caching TeraSearch: □ Include this folder in the search index Virus Scan: ✓ Real Time Scan ✓ Scheduled Scan ✓ Manual Scan Access Restrictions: ○ Enable ○ Disable Local Users Local Groups External Users Local Username guest admin OK Cancel

Notes:

- Names may contain up to 27 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), and underscores (_). Do not use a symbol as the first character in a name.

- The description may contain up to 75 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and spaces. Do not use a symbol or space as the first character.

• You may create up to 400 shared folders.

- The names of shared folders should not use characters from more than one language. For example, mixing Japanese and Korean characters in names is not supported.

- If multi-byte characters are used in shared folder names, configure the client language to match the characters in Management - Name/Time/Language.

- The following characters are handled differently by Mac OS and Windows. Avoid using these characters when sharing data between Mac OS and Windows: —\~ || - ¢ £ →

- Windows does not support some characters that Mac OS and the TeraStation allow. If you create a filename on a Mac with any of the following characters, it will not display correctly on a Windows computer. With OS X 10.2 or later, you may have to connect to the TeraStation via AFP in order to display or copy any of the following characters:

$$ ? [ ] / \backslash = + < >;:: ^ {\prime \prime}, | * $$

- Do not use any of the following words as the name of a shared folder. These words are reserved for internal use by the TeraStation: info, spool, lost+found, global, printers, homes, lp, authtest, ram, msdfs_root, mt-daapd, usbdisk# (where # is a number, for example: usbdisk1)

- Don't use the following unsupported characters in shared folder names, workgroup names, or filenames:

• File and folder names may contain up to 255 single-byte characters.

- Configure hidden and read-only file attributes in Settings. Configuring them from within Windows is not supported and may cause unexpected behavior.

- Folder and workgroup names whose names contain non-Roman characters may not be displayed correctly.

- If shared folders are accessed from a Mac, information files for the Mac may be generated automatically. Do not delete these files. If they are deleted using Windows, this may prevent further access from a Mac.

- If an SMB connection is used with OS X 10.3.9, the names of mounted volumes may appear as unreadable characters in Finder and other applications. This is not a problem with the filename or data.

- With OS X 10.5 to 10.5.6, Spotlight searches are not supported over AFP connections. Use SMB connections or upgrade to OS X 10.5.7 or later.

• The TeraStation belongs to the default zone in AppleShare: the zone cannot be specified.

- When files are copied to the TeraStation or to a USB drive connected to the TeraStation, file information such as date created, date modified, and other date information may be updated or changed.

• During a file transfer, if settings are changed, the file transfer operation may be aborted.
• File copying to the TeraStation is protected by a journaling file system. If the Ethernet cable is disconnected or a power outage occurs while copying data, the following may occur:
• Preset data such as the TeraStation name, users, and groups may be erased.
• An incomplete file may be copied and the file can no longer be deleted. If this happens, restart the
  TeraStation, delete the file, and perform the copy operation again.

Recycle Bin

To protect your data from accidental deletion, you may configure your TeraStation to use a recycle bin instead of deleting files immediately. The recycle bin will only work with SMB connections. To empty the recycle bin, click File Sharing - Folder Setup - Empty Recycle Bin in Settings.

Read-Only Shares

By default, new shares are set with read & write access, but you may change the attribute to Read Only in Attribute. Read-only shares and HFS+ formatted USB hard drives will have "Read-only" added to the shared folder description.

Hidden Shares

If hidden shares is enabled, shared SMB folders will not be displayed in My Network, and only certain users are allowed to access them. To hide a shared SMB folder, follow the instructions below.

1 In Settings, navigate to File Sharing - Folder Setup and choose a shared folder or a USB drive to configure hidden shares.
2 Check "Hidden Share (SMB Only)" and click OK.
Note: If protocols other than "SMB" or "Backup" under "LAN Protocol Support" are enabled, the hidden shares option will be grayed out and cannot be selected.
To open a hidden folder, click Start - Search programs and files and enter "\TeraStation name\Shared folder name\" for the name. For example, if the TeraStation name is "TSXXX001" and the shared folder name is "share", enter "001\" to open it.

Adding Users

Note: The TeraStation can register a maximum 300 of users, which includes the default users "admin" and "guest".

1 In Settings, click File Sharing.

File Sharing

2 Click to the right of "Users".

• For an access-restricted shared folder, if you change the access restrictions of all users and groups from read & write or read only to access prohibited from the user or group list page in Settings, that shared folder can only be accessed by admin users and groups.

Active Directory

The TeraStation can join an Active Directory domain. Up to 1000 domain users and 1000 groups may be downloaded from Active Directory.

Notes:

• The TeraStation supports a domain environment with a maximum of 1000 users and 1000 groups. 10,000 users and 10,000 groups can be downloaded from the domain controller but are not supported.

Notes:

• To have the TeraStation join an Active Directory domain, configure it to use a DNS server that can resolve names for the Active Directory domain.
  • After building an Active Directory domain, the administrator password for joining the domain must be changed at least once, or joining the Active Directory domain will fail.
  • The DNS name and NetBIOS name of Active Directory domains should be identical.
• If both read-only and read & write permissions are given, the user will have read-only access. The most restrictive access setting will apply.
• If there are more than 5 minutes difference between the TeraStation's clock and the domain controller's clock, joining the domain or authenticating domain users and groups may fail. For best results, use an NTP server to set the time for all network devices.
• To use the TeraStation as a member server in an Active Directory domain, the TeraStation should be logged in to the domain and accessed from a computer that is not a member of the domain with a valid domain account.
• If the TeraStation is a member server of an Active Directory domain, you cannot connect as a guest user via AFP.
• If your TeraStation is a member server in an Active Directory domain and you change the authentication method to "Workgroup", the account on the domain controller will not be deleted automatically.

• If FTP is enabled, local and domain group access restrictions from the AD network do not work. Use user access restrictions instead.

• Don't disable the SMB protocol while Active Directory is used for access restrictions. If you do, you will need to enable SMB again and reconfigure AD from scratch.

• For an access-restricted shared folder, if you change the access restrictions of all users and groups from read & write or read only to access prohibited from the user or group list page in Settings, that shared folder can only be accessed by admin users and groups.

NT Domain

In an NT domain environment, the TeraStation uses account information from the NT domain server to set access restrictions for files and folders on the TeraStation. There's no need to perform individual account management for the TeraStation. If multiple TeraStations are installed on the network, the account information is centrally managed in the NT domain, greatly reducing the operations required for installation and management.

Note: A maximum of 1000 domain users and 1000 groups can be downloaded from an NT domain server. 10,000 users and 10,000 groups can be downloaded from the domain controller but are not supported.

Notes:

• If you change the TeraStation's name, you will no longer be able to use domain users and groups or access restrictions. To repair this, rejoin the domain.
• If both read-only and read & write permissions are given to a user, the user will have read-only access.
  • If a domain username is more than 20 bytes long, the TeraStation truncates it to 20 bytes.
• To use the TeraStation as a member server in an NT domain, the TeraStation should be logged in to the domain and accessed from a computer that is not a member of the domain with a valid domain account.
• If the TeraStation is a member server of an NT domain, you cannot connect as a guest user via AFP.
• When you change the user or group settings on the domain controller, these changes may not take effect immediately on the TeraStation until it is rebooted.
• If your TeraStation is a member server in an NT domain and you change the authentication method to "Workgroup", the account on the domain controller will not be deleted automatically.
• If FTP is enabled, local and domain group access restrictions from the NT domain network do not work. Use user access restrictions instead.
• Don't disable the SMB protocol while an NT domain server is used for access restrictions. If you do, you will need to enable SMB again and reconfigure the NT domain settings from scratch.
• For an access-restricted shared folder, if you change the access restrictions of all users and groups from read & write or read only to access prohibited from the user or group list page in Settings, that shared folder can only be accessed by admin users and groups.

User Authentication with an External SMB Server

TeraStations on your network can be linked to an external authentication server for centralized management of user accounts and passwords. The authentication server should be another TeraStation or a LinkStation. Other external SMB authentication servers are not supported.

Notes:

• Disable SMB2 before using external authentication.
• Access restrictions for local users and groups will still apply to shared folders if an external SMB server is used for authentication.
• The procedure below contains methods to automatically register external users. You can also manually add external users by converting them from local users. Refer to the "Converting Local Users into External Users" section below for more details on converting local users.

1 In Settings, click Network.

6 Enter a workgroup name. Select "Authenticate local and external SMB server users" and enter the SMB server's IP address. You can also specify a server from another subnet.

Workgroup Settings Workgroup Name: WORKGROUP WINS Server IP Address: Authentication Settings: ● Authenticate local TeraStation users only ● Authenticate local and external SMB server users Authentication server name or IP address ✓ Automatically register users who access TeraStation folders ✓ Restrict user registration to a single folder Name: OK Cancel

7 If "Automatically register users who access TeraStation folders" is checked, users that access any of the TeraStation's folders will be automatically registered as external users. This process only applies with folders that have access restrictions disabled. After new external users are added, disable this option to limit the number of authenticated user accounts.

8 If "Restrict user registration to a single folder" is checked, the TeraStation will automatically create a read-only shared folder. Enter the shared folder name. Users that access this specific folder will be automatically registered as external users. If this setting is de-selected at a later time, the TeraStation will automatically remove the folder.

Note: Connect to the authentication folder via SMB, not FTP or AFP. Automatic user registration may not work with OS X 10.8 (or later) the first time. If this occurs, try rebooting the TeraStation then access the authentication shared folder again.

9 Click OK to save any changes. When saving changes to the external authentication server settings, you may not to convert all current local users to external users. If a local user is converted to an external user, their user information (including passwords) will be removed from the NAS. External users cannot be reverted to local users.

• If both read-only and read & write permissions are given to a user, the user will have read-only access.
  • OS X 10.4 or earlier and Windows Server 2012 are not supported with external authentication.
• To access access-limited shared folders from OS X 10.7, use AFP instead of SMB; under "LAN Protocol Support", check "AFP (Mac)" on the destination folders to use AFP and click OK.
• If access restrictions are set for users and groups from the authentication server, guest and anonymous connections will not be possible with AFP connections.
• FTP connections do not support authentication with an external SMB server.
• If using a Windows PC for external authentication, the default Windows SMB security settings may need to be changed. An easy way to do this is to run the File Sharing Security Level Change Tool, available from this product's download page on the Buffalo website. This utility will let you easily change or restore your Windows security settings to work with external authentication.

- If you change all users' and groups' access attributes for the access-restricted shared folder, from read & write or read only to access prohibited in the user or group list page of Settings, that shared folder can only be accessed by admin users and groups.

Converting Local Users into External Users

If using an external SMB server for authentication, you may convert any local users into external users. This way, the TeraStation will have a user list that matches the users in the external SMB server, and access restrictions for this TeraStation's shared folders may be assigned to the converted "external" users.

Follow the steps below to convert a local user into an external user. If a local user is converted, their user information (including passwords) will be removed from the TeraStation. External users cannot be reverted to local users.

Note: External authentication should be enabled before local users can be converted. For more information on external authentication, refer to the "User Authentication with an External SMB Server" section.

1 In Settings, click File Sharing.
2 Click to the right of "Users".
3 In the user list screen, check any users to be converted to an external user, then click Convert to External User.
4 Enter the confirmation number and click OK.

Converted users are displayed under the "External Users" tab. You can then configure access restrictions for external users.

Chapter 4 Managing Storage

RAID Arrays

TeraStations support many types of RAID. The type of RAID arrays available for use depends on how many drives are installed in your TeraStation.

TeraStation Default RAID Mode
TS3400D	RAID 5
TS3400R
TS3200D RAID 1

Notes:

• If you change the RAID mode, all data on the array is deleted. This is true for every procedure in this chapter. Always back up any important data before performing actions that affect your RAID array.
• Hard drive capacity is shown in Settings in actual gigabytes. The Properties window in Windows may show GiB instead, which will be a smaller number.
• After the RAID mode is changed (except when creating a RAID 0 array or JBOD), the TeraStation performs a RAID check that will take about 10 hours per TB. File transfers are slower during this period. While the I17 message is displayed on the LCD panel, do not turn off the TeraStation. If you do, the RAID check starts over.
• If the TeraStation is restarted or shut down while changing the RAID mode, the message displayed on the LCD panel will change from I46 or I47 to I18.

RAID 6\*

RAID 6 arrays are available for TeraStations with 4 or more hard drives. RAID 6 combines 4 or more drives into a single array. The usable space is equal to the sum of the capacity of all drives minus the capacity of two drives. For example, if 4 drives are combined into a RAID 6 array, the usable space is the sum of the capacity of 2 drives. If 2 drives in the array are damaged, you can recover data by replacing them. If 3 or more drives are damaged, your data is lost.

RAID 5\*

RAID 5 arrays are available for TeraStations with 3 or more hard drives. RAID 5 combines 3 or more drives into a single array. The usable space is equal to the sum of the capacity of the hard drives minus the capacity of one drive. For example, if 4 drives are combined into a RAID 5 array, the usable space is the sum of 3 drives. If one drive in the array is damaged, you can recover data by replacing the damaged drive. If two or more drives are damaged at the same time, your data is lost.

RAID 10\*

RAID 10 arrays are available for TeraStations with 4 or more hard drives. In this mode, mirrored pairs of drives in RAID 1 arrays are combined into a RAID 0 array. The usable space is equal to the capacity of the smallest drive multiplied by the number of hard drives divided by 2.

RAID 1

Combines 2 or more drives into a mirrored array. The available space in the array is the capacity of a single drive. Identical data is written to each drive. If a drive is damaged, data can be recovered by replacing the damaged drive. As long as one drive in the array remains undamaged, all data in the array can be recovered.

RAID 0

Combines 2 or more hard drives into a single array. The usable disk space is the total space of all drives used. This simple RAID mode offers faster performance than RAID modes that include parity. If a single drive in the array fails, then all data in the array is lost.

JBOD

This mode uses the hard drives inside the TeraStation as individual drives. The disk space you can use is the total capacity of all drives in the TeraStation. If any drive is damaged, then the data on that drive is lost.

*Available for TS3400D and TS3400R.

Notes:

• You can also configure RAID settings from Easy Admin.
• After changing the RAID mode, create a shared folder.

Configuring a Hot Spare

If you have a hot spare configured and an array fails, the TeraStation immediately switches over to the hot spare. To use a hot spare, you need an extra drive that's not part of any array and a RAID 1, RAID 10, RAID 5, or RAID 6 array.

Notes:

• All data on the hot spare drive is deleted when it is configured as a hot spare and again when it changes from a spare to a drive in the array.
• A hot spare cannot be configured for TeraStation models with only two hard drives. Use RAID 1 instead.

Adding an External Hard Drive

Connecting an External Drive

Your TeraStation includes USB ports (the number of ports depends on your model), and you can connect external drives to these ports. Once connected they appear as shared folders on the TeraStation. Formatted drives are detected automatically. Unformatted drives should be formatted in Settings.

After a USB drive is recognized, Windows adds "usbdisk X" under the TeraStation in "Network", where "X" is the USB port where the hard drive is connected.

Compatibility

The following USB devices are supported by the TeraStation:

• USB storage devices
• Card readers (except for card readers that can recognize two or more memory cards)
Buffalo external USB drives are recommended. However, the following USB drives are not supported:

• DUB and DIU series drives

Supported file systems for external drives are below:

- FAT32

- EXT3

• XFS

- NTFS

• HFS+ (read-only)

Connect only one device to each USB port of the TeraStation. Some external drives with automatic power-on don't turn on automatically when connected to the TeraStation. Use their manual power switch to turn them on. Be sure to connect only one bus-powered drive at a time. If there is insufficient bus power for your USB drive, connect its AC adapter. Note that only the first partition of a connected USB hard drive is mounted. Additional partitions are not recognized. Do not connect bus-powered devices (except for USB flash drives and card readers) to the 2-drive TeraStation models.

Notes:

• Backup data from Mac OS may include characters that cannot be written to FAT16 or FAT32 drives such as ".DS_Store". For best results, reformat the drive before using it as a backup target.
• The TeraStation is compatible with most USB 2.0 external hard drives. Compatible USB 3.0 external drives include HD-LBU3 series, HD-LXU3 series, HD-PCTU3 series, HD-PNTU3 series, HD-PZU3 series (as of May 2013).

Dismounting Drives

If the TeraStation is powered on, dismount drives (internal and external) before unplugging them. You may dismount external drives with the function button, or any drive from Settings. If the TeraStation is off, then all drives are already dismounted and may be unplugged safely.

Dismounting with the Function Button

Hold down the function button for 8 seconds. The function button will flash as all external drives are dismounted, which will take about 30 seconds. When the dismount is finished, the function LED will stop flashing and glow steadily. You may now unplug any USB drives safely.

Note: After 60 seconds, the function LED will go out and any drives that have not yet been unplugged will be remounted.

Dismounting from Settings

1 In Settings, click Drives.

2 Click Drives to dismount an internal drive or USB Drives to dismount an external drive.

Erase Data on the TeraStation Completely

Under some circumstances, data from formatted drives can be recovered. The disk erasure process in this section does a much more thorough job of erasing data. This procedure is recommended for removing all data from a drive in a way that makes it nearly impossible to recover with current tools. All data on the drives is completely erased.

The TeraStation will then be in the following state:

• All drives in JBOD
• An empty shared folder on each drive
• All settings returned to their default values
- All logs deleted

If you remove a drive and then erase all data on the TeraStation, the LCD will show the E22 error message and the number of the removed drive. You can still use the TeraStation.

Disk Quotas

You can set a disk quota to limit drive space for each user or group. You can also set an alert space. If the drive space exceeds the set alert space, an email notification is sent. To configure email notifications for disk quota, refer to the "Email Notification" section in chapter 10.

Notes:

• When using quotas, disable the recycle bin or empty the trash folder often. The limited space includes the space used for trash.
• Quotas apply per drive or per array. If a quota is set to 1 GB, each array or drive can use a maximum of 1 GB.
• Quotas cannot be set for external hard drives connected to the TeraStation and hard drives that are configured as media cartridges.
• If both user and group quotas are configured for a user, the most restrictive quota will always apply.
  • Make sure that SMB2 is disabled before using quotas on the TeraStation.

Using the TeraStation as an iSCSI Device

Introduction

iSCSI is a protocol for carrying SCSI commands over IP networks. Unlike traditional SAN protocols such as Fibre Channel, which requires special-purpose cabling, iSCSI can be run over long distances using existing network infrastructure. Normal Windows formatting such as NTFS is supported.

Differences Between NAS and iSCSI

With iSCSI, the TeraStation is connected to a single computer, such as a server. Other computers on the network access files on the TeraStation through the computer it's connected to. The TeraStation can be used as a local drive from Windows Server. Features of Windows Server such as Active Directory can be used normally.

As a NAS, the TeraStation is a server, and computers (including other servers) on the network can access shared folders on it directly. A separate server is not required, and features such as backup are built-in.

Network Configuration

Use gigabit or faster network equipment with iSCSI. For best results, a dedicated network for iSCSI is recommended, separate from the regular network. Use fixed IP addresses for storage devices such as the TeraStation.

Installing a Connection Tool

Windows XP, Windows Server 2003

Before using any iSCSI equipment, download and install the iSCSI connection software "Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator" from the Microsoft website.

You can also use Buffalo iSCSI Connection Tool to connect an iSCSI hard drive.

Windows Vista or later, Windows Server 2008 or later

The Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator is already installed on your computer. You don't need to download and install it.

You can also use Buffalo iSCSI Connection Tool to connect an iSCSI hard drive.

Creating a iSCSI Volume

To use the TeraStation as an iSCSI hard drive, create a volume first. Configure the TeraStation as described below.

Notes:

• If the LVM settings are changed, all data on the volume will be erased. Before changing any settings, back up any important data.
• The TeraStation can have up 255 volumes, but we recommend using only a maximum of 32. Exceeding this volume amount may cause irreparable damage to the unit.

1 In Settings, click Drives.

Note: Steps 2–6 below describe the procedure to enable LVM for specifying a volume size or changing it later. LVM does not need to be enabled for a drive to be used as an iSCSI hard drive, as you can still create an iSCSI volume from the entire drive or array. However, enabling LVM is recommended for drives that will be used for iSCSI.

To use whole drive or array as an iSCSI hard drive, skip to step 7.

2 Click to the right of "LVM".

Click OK, then Close.

Creating an iSCSI volume is finished.

Note: If you click Disable Connection for the selected volume in Drives - iSCSI in Settings, the selected iSCSI volume can no longer be accessed. If you click Enable Connection, the volume will become accessible from the iSCSI initiator software.

Connecting or Disconnecting Volumes

There are two methods to connect or disconnect volumes. One uses the pre-installed Microsoft iSCSI Initiator on Windows; the other uses Buffalo iSCSI Connection Tool.

Note: By default, the IP address of the TeraStation is automatically assigned from a DHCP server. However, in this case, if you turn off and restart the TeraStation, the IP address may be changed and the volumes on the TeraStation may not be accessible. To avoid changing the IP address unexpectedly, using a fixed IP address for the TeraStation is recommended.

Using Microsoft iSCSI Initiator

Connecting Volumes

To connect a volume using Microsoft iSCSI Initiator from a Windows computer, follow the procedure below.

1 Error LED

Glows red if a drive has failed.

2 Status LEDs

The failed drive's status LED will be glowing a steady red. A drive with a red status LED is ready to hot-swap.

Notes:

• Do not unplug a drive whose status LED is green instead of red. Dismount it first or shut down the TeraStation before swapping a working drive. If you remove the drive without properly dismounting it, data may be lost or the TeraStation may malfunction.
• Use a Buffalo OP-HDS series drive of the same size or larger (the same size if using RMM) as the replacement drive. If a larger drive is used, the extra space will not be usable in a RAID array.
• To avoid damaging the TeraStation with static electricity, ground yourself by touching something made of metal before handling any sensitive electronic parts.
• After a drive is replaced, it will take about 30 minutes before normal file reading and writing are restored. Settings may not be accessible during this period.
• Do not change the order of the hard drives in the TeraStation. For example, pulling out drive 1 and replacing it with drive 2 may cause data to be corrupted or lost.
  • If the LCD display does not change after a new drive is installed, click Rediscover Disk in Settings.

Replacing a Media Cartridge

Drives configured as media cartridges may be removed and moved to a different TeraStation for use. Before unplugging the drive, dismount it in Settings or shut down the TeraStation.

Chapter 5 Backup

Back Up from the TeraStation

You can back up TeraStation folders to:

• A different folder on the TeraStation
• Another LinkStation on the network
• Another TeraStation on the network

You can also configure backup jobs from Easy Admin.

Preparing a Backup Destination

First, configure a folder as a backup destination.

1 In Settings, click File Sharing.

File Sharing

2 Click to the right of "Folder Setup".

Folder Setup 4 Folder(s)

3 Choose the folder to set as a backup destination.
4 Click Edit.
5 Under "LAN Protocol Support", check "Backup" and click OK.

Note: To configure a password, enter it in the "Remote Backup Password" field. Leave this field blank if you don't want a password. If the target device is configured with a backup password, you can easily find the backup target folder during configuration of the backup job by searching for the password.

Backing up to a LinkStation or TeraStation on another network when connected by a VPN

You can back up to a LinkStation or TeraStation on another network as long as the two networks are connected by a VPN. Follow this procedure to enter the IP address or hostname of the target LinkStation or TeraStation.

1 In Settings, click Backup.

Backup

2 Click to the right of "Backup".

If your setup meets the requirements below, you don't have to configure these settings:

• The source and target TeraStations are on the same network.
• No backup password is set for the target TeraStation.
• No TeraStation from outside the subnet, or connected by a VPN, is used.

Notes:

• To back up data between LinkStations or TeraStations on a network using jumbo frames, make sure that both devices are configured to use identical (or similar) Ethernet frame sizes. If Ethernet frame sizes are significantly different, the backup job may not be properly performed. In such a case, select the default frame size (1500 bytes).
  • You can also specify hostname by a fully qualified domain name (FQDN).

Configuring a Backup Job

1 In Settings, click Backup.

The following types of backup jobs may be selected:

Type Files included
Normal backup All files in the source will be backed up to the destination.
Overwrite (incremental)	The first time the backup job runs like a normal backup. In subsequent backups, files added to the source as well as files deleted from the source are kept in the backup folder.
Overwrite (differential)	The first backup job runs like a normal backup. As each additional backup job runs, files are added to and deleted from the backup folder. The backup destination folder is always the same size as the backup source folder.
Management backup	Each time a backup is executed, management information is stored, and only files that have changed are copied or deleted. Data is retrieved from the previous backup file for files that were not changed. This is useful for making backups with limited space or for referencing status at a particular point in time (for use for data snapshot applications). The destination folder for a management backup should be a local folder on this TeraStation or on a USB drive attached to it. The target folder will be set to read-only. Do not use folders from drives formatted with FAT.

5 Click Add.
6 Click Browse under "Backup Source Folder Name".

7 Select the shared folder that will be the backup source, then click OK.

Browse Folders Refresh + share OK Cancel

Note: If you will use the same folder for both Amazon S3 remote replication and as a backup target folder, create a new subfolder under "\wbfs\amazons3". Under "LAN Protocol Support", check "Backup" and click OK. Without these settings, that shared folder will not be listed in the backup target folder list.

10 Click OK. Tasks added to "Backup List" are displayed.
11 Click Close.

Replication

Replication copies all data from a share to a share on a different TeraStation. This is an easy way to configure a reliable system to provide data protection in the event your main TeraStation fails. To configure replication, connect an Ethernet cable to the LAN port of each TeraStation and follow the steps below.

Note: Replication source data is copied to the replication target folder with a differential overwrite. Any data that is not in the replication source will be overwritten.

1 In Settings, click Backup.

Click Yes.

Notes:

• During setup, you may choose to encrypt and/or compress replication data. Encrypted data will transferred securely on the network. Compressed data will ease network loading and is recommended for slow or heavily loaded network connections. Either will increase the CPU load on the source TeraStation. Encrypted and compressed data will be unencrypted and decompressed on the target TeraStation.
  • A maximum of 64 shared folders can be configured for replication.
• Shared folders with a backup password set cannot be selected as replication targets.
• Replication can also be used to copy all data from a share to a share on an attached external drive. Format the drive with ext3 or XFS before using it for replication. Drives with FAT32 partitions are not supported with replication.
• You can select subfolders as the replication source. Folders whose names contain more than 80 alphanumeric characters cannot be selected.
• Don't use the same TeraStation for both failover and replication, or replication and Time Machine.
• Don't configure replication from one source folder to multiple target folders.

- If a network problem causes a replication error, unsynced data may be shown as "0" even though replication is incomplete. Click Resync to recover from the replication error. All files from the source folder will be copied to the target folder.

Failover

With failover, two TeraStations are connected to the network for redundancy. If a problem occurs in the main TeraStation so that it can no longer be accessed, operation is automatically switched to the backup TeraStation.

graph TD
    A["Main"] --> B["Data on both TeraStations stays up-to-date."]
    B --> C["Switches automatically if failure occurs."]
    C --> D["Laptop 1"]
    C --> E["Laptop 2"]
    C --> F["Laptop 3"]
    C --> G["Laptop 4"]
    C --> H["Laptop 5"]
    C --> I["Laptop 6"]
    C --> J["Laptop 7"]
    C --> K["Laptop 8"]
    C --> L["Backup"]

Note: Use identical model and capacity TeraStations for the main TeraStation and backup TeraStation. If the capacity of the main TeraStation is larger than that of the backup TeraStation, an I33 replication error will occur.

Ethernet Cable Connection Methods

Two different configurations for failover are available.

Connecting to the network at LAN port 1 and setting failover at LAN port 1

With the first setup, if the main TeraStation fails, the backup TeraStation will replace it completely, using the same name and IP address. The backup TeraStation is updated over normal network traffic.

graph TD
    A["Network"] --> B["LAN port 1"]
    A --> C["LAN port 1"]
    B --> D["Main"]
    C --> E["Backup"]

Connecting to the network at LAN port 1 and setting failover at LAN port 2

With the second setup, the backup TeraStation and main TeraStation are connected by a second Ethernet cable connecting their LAN 2 ports. Updating is done over this dedicated network path, so updates are quicker and don't interfere with normal network traffic. With this setup, if the main TeraStation fails, the backup TeraStation will replace it by name, but will keep its original IP address.

graph TD
    A["Network"] -->|LAN part 1| B["Main"]
    A -->|LAN port 1| C["Backup"]
    B -->|LAN port 2| D["Network"]
    C -->|LAN port 2| D

Check if the main TeraStation is alive using LAN port 1 and back up data via LAN port 2

• Select LAN port 1 for the backup target and LAN port 2 for the backup LAN port.
  • This is more efficient than the setup below and doesn't interfere with normal network traffic.

Check if the main TeraStation is alive and back up the data via LAN port 2

• Select LAN port 2 for the backup target and for the backup LAN port.
  • This is fault-tolerant if network disconnections occur.

The main and backup TeraStations should be the same model and capacity. Use fixed IP addresses for both TeraStations. Because the IP address of the TeraStation designated as the backup cannot be changed, set its IP address before configuring failover.

Function Restrictions

Failover is not available when any of the following functions are enabled:

Replication, sleep mode, encrypted disk volume, MySQL server, media cartridge, LVM volume, iSCSI volume, port trunking, cloud storage, surveillance server, hot spare, access restrictions by Active Directory or NT domain

Non-Transferable Settings

The settings below are not copied from the main TeraStation to the backup TeraStation. Make a note of the original settings so that they can be configured manually if the backup TeraStation replaces the main TeraStation.

Web server (including PHP), MySQL server, Direct Copy, WebAccess, print server, UPS synchronization, antivirus, email notification**

*Only if the antivirus is activated on the TeraStation.

**Email notification settings will revert to the default settings after failover. Notification emails will be sent at midnight by default. Reconfigure email notification after the backup TeraStation replaces the main TeraStation.

Note: After failover, re-register your buffalonas.com account for WebAccess on the new main TeraStation if LAN port 1 is assigned a new static IP address or using DHCP. If the new main TeraStation inherits the original static IP address for LAN port 1, WebAccess settings will be transferred and you will not need to reconfigure it.

Using with UPS

Once failover is configured, you cannot set up a UPS for the backup TeraStation. Configure your UPS before configuring failover. UPS recovery can be configured for both the main TeraStation and the backup TeraStation.

However, the UPS settings of the main TeraStation will not be copied to the backup TeraStation.

If the backup TeraStation is configured to sync with the UPS connected to the main TeraStation, and the main TeraStation shuts down, the backup TeraStation will no longer be able to detect if there was a power outage. In this case, move the UPS communication cable from the main TeraStation to the backup TeraStation and reconfigure the UPS link settings.

Configuration

1 In Settings, click Backup.

5 Enter the administrator password of the target backup device, then click Start Failover.
6 If the administrator password is correct, the backup TeraStation will beep. To accept the settings from the main TeraStation, hold down the function button on the front of the backup TeraStation until it stops beeping.
7 The I51 message will display on the LCD and NAS Navigator2 for both TeraStations. Wait until initialization finishes. Failover is configured after it finishes and the I51 message disappears.

Notes:

• If replication is configured for more than one folder, initialize the TeraStation before configuring failover.
  • The main TeraStation cannot be used as the backup location for Time Machine.
• If email notification is enabled and failover occurs, navigate to Management - Email Notification - Edit in the main TeraStation's settings and click OK.
• Ethernet frame size settings for main and failover TeraStations should be 1500 bytes. To change the Ethernet frame size, navigate to Network - IP Address, click the LAN port and Edit, and change the Ethernet frame size to "1500" bytes.
• Files whose filenames contain more than 80 alphanumeric characters will not be backed up.
• If the I33 error message appears on the LCD display, navigate to Backup - Replication and click Resync.
• Don't use the same TeraStation for both failover and replication, or failover and Time Machine.

Additional Settings

Maintenance Mode

If failover is configured, change to maintenance mode temporarily before operating the following settings: Initializing settings, changing the RAID settings, formatting drives, iSCSI volume, restarting or turning off the TeraStation, updating the TeraStation's firmware

Enable/Disable Maintenance Mode

Maintenance mode can be enabled and disabled at Backup - Failover in the main TeraStation's settings. Click Maintenance mode to enable maintenance mode, or click Cancel maintenance mode to disable maintenance mode.

Service IP Address

The "service IP address" will be the new address of the backup TeraStation when it takes over operation from the main TeraStation. If no service IP address is set, or a fixed IP address is set, an attempt is made to inherit the IP address from the main TeraStation.

Backup TeraStation Promotion Situations

• The backup TeraStation cannot detect the main TeraStation within a specified time

If the backup TeraStation has not received the packet from the main TeraStation for a specified time, the backup TeraStation considers the main TeraStation to have failed. By default, it will try 5 times and wait 60 seconds. If this is triggered by accident, reconfigure failover from the main TeraStation.

• The following error occurs

If any of the following errors occur, the main TeraStation will automatically shut down and the backup TeraStation will take over from the main TeraStation:

E12 (cooling failure), E14 (cannot mount RAID array), E16 (drive not found), E22 (cannot mount drive), E30 (drive failure)

Displayed Messages

If network problems occur, the following messages may appear on the LCD display and in NAS Navigator2 even if neither TeraStation has failed. If this happens, log in to both the main and backup TeraStation's Settings, reset the failover settings, and configure it again.

• The I49 message may appear for the backup TeraStation if the main TeraStation fails.
• The E27 message may appear for the main TeraStation if it cannot detect the backup TeraStation on the network.

Switching to the Backup Unit Manually

If "Switch to backup unit manually" is selected in Settings, the backup TeraStation will not replace the main TeraStation automatically. If the main TeraStation fails, there are two ways to have the backup unit replace the main unit manually on the network:

• In Settings, click on the "Set as Main Unit" button.
- Or, press and hold down the function button on the backup TeraStation.

This starts the virus scan.

If the scan finds a virus, the user can be notified in two ways:

- The I34 virus alert message is normally shown on the LCD panel. Once the virus is removed from the quarantine folder, the message is no longer displayed. If the antivirus software is configured to delete viruses from the quarantine folder automatically, then the I34 virus alert message will not be displayed.

- If email notification is enabled in Settings, then the antivirus software notifies the user by email if a virus is found. Enabling email notifications is recommended.

Depending on how many files are on your TeraStation, a virus scan may take several hours. Estimated scanning times are shown below.

Wake-on-LAN is now enabled. As long as it is connected to power and the network, you can turn on the TeraStation remotely.

Notes:

• After a power outage, wait 5 minutes after power is restored to send the Wake-on-LAN packet to the TeraStation.
• After receiving the Wake-on-LAN packet, the TeraStation may take approximately five minutes to be ready to use.
- To use Wake-on-LAN, you'll need Wake-on-LAN software that sends magic packets. The TeraStation does not include Wake-on-LAN software.
- The TeraStation does not support using Wake-on-LAN and port trunking at the same time. You may use either feature, but not both at the same time.
- On the local network, Wake-on-LAN packets may be sent to port 2304 on either of the TeraStation's LAN ports. If the TeraStation is connected to a Buffalo wireless router configured for remote access, then it may be turned on from outside the local network (from the WAN side). To use this feature, connect the router to only LAN port 1 on the TeraStation.

UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)

If a UPS (sold separately) is attached, the TeraStation can be automatically shut down for protecting data in the event of a power outage.

1 Plug the power cable of the UPS to a wall socket.

Notes:

• If the TeraStation is connected directly to a UPS, select "Sync with UPS connected to this TeraStation". If a different TeraStation is connected to the UPS, select "Sync with UPS connected to another LinkStation or TeraStation on the same network". After making this selection, enter the IP address of the TeraStation that will be the sync source in "Other LinkStation or TeraStation's IP Address".
• When the TeraStation is rebooted after an automatic shutdown (such as from a power outage or power supply problem), verify that the power supply has been restored. If the TeraStation is turned on while it is still running on the UPS and without the power supply restored, automatic shutdown is not performed, even after the specified time has elapsed.
• If the power supply from the UPS to the TeraStation is stopped and restarted when UPS recovery is enabled, the TeraStation is automatically restarted.

Port Trunking

Two Ethernet cables can be used to establish two separate communication routes providing LAN port redundancy and improving communication reliability. The use of two Ethernet cables enables access to the TeraStation even if one of the cables is disconnected.

The port trunking modes that can be set in the TeraStation are shown below.

Trunking Mode Characteristics
Round-robin	Network packets are transmitted in sequential order from the first available NIC slave through the last.
Active-backup	Only one NIC slave in the bond is active. A different slave becomes active if and only if the active slave fails.
XOR*	Transmits network packets based on [(source MAC address XOR'd with destination MAC address) modulo NIC slave count]. This selects the same NIC slave for each destination MAC address.
Broadcast Transmits network packets on all slave network interfaces.
Dynamic link aggregation**	Creates aggregation groups that share the network speed and duplex settings. Utilizes all slave network interfaces in the active aggregator group according to the 802.3ad specification.
TLB	The outgoing network packet traffic is distributed according to the current load (relative to the speed) on each network interface slave.
ALB Includes both balance-tlb and rlb by ARP	negotiation.

*A separate intelligent switch that supports EtherChannel or other port trunking is required. Configure two LAN ports on the switch for port trunking first.
**A separate intelligent switch that supports IEEE 802.3ad is required. Configure LACP in the switch first.

Configuring Port Trunking

If the TeraStation is being used as an iSCSI hard drive, disable iSCSI before changing network settings such as port

trunking. Navigate to Drives - iSCSI in Settings and move the iSCSI switch to the position temporarily.

1 Use an Ethernet cable to connect the hub LAN port and TeraStation LAN port 1.

Notes:

• Do not connect the second Ethernet cable to the TeraStation yet.
• If using an intelligent switch, configure the LAN ports on the switch first, before connecting to the TeraStation.

The mount command depends on your operating system. The examples below assume that IP address of your TeraStation is 192.168.11.10, "/mnt/array1/share" is the desired NFS path, and "/mnt/nas" or drive letter "z" is the mount point.

For Linux:

mount -t nfs 192.168.11.10:/mnt/array1/share /mnt/nas

For Windows Service for Unix 3.5:

mount 192.168.11.10:/mnt/array1/share z:

For Solaris 10:

mount -F nfs 192.168.11.10:/mnt/array1/share /mnt/nas

Notes:

NFS Settings Services Client Settings NFS Rules Public Network Address: 192.168.11.10 Public Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Operation Mode: User Mode Edit Close

• To restrict NFS access to a specific network or client, navigate to File Sharing - NFS - Services and click Edit. Enter the address of the network. For example, if your local network subnet has a router at 192.168.1.1 and clients with IP addresses in the range from 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.48 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0, then the "Public Network Address" would be 192.168.1.0 and the "Public Subnet Mask" would be 255.255.255.0. This would mean that only clients on this local network would be able to access the NFS share. If the default settings are used (0.0.0.0 for both the public network address and the public subnet mask), then access to the NFS share will not be restricted.
• To use NFS folders with VMware ESX/ESXi or Citrix, navigate to Services - Edit and change the operation mode from "User Mode" to "Kernel Mode".
• Async is the default for NFS rules. Sync is available only when the device is in kernel mode.
• To restrict access to a NFS share for specific clients, navigate to File Sharing - NFS - NFS Rules and click Add Rule. Choose the folder to restrict access to, and enter the clients that will have restricted access in the "Hosts" field. Clients may be entered by hostname, IP address, or IP address range. Wildcards are supported. Separate

Encrypting Data Transmission

Encrypting Settings Data

All communication with Settings can use SSL encryption if you access settings through https://.

Encrypting FTP Transfer Data

You can encrypt passwords and files using SSL/TLS for secure FTP communication. First, open a shared folder's settings and click Edit; under "LAN Protocol Support", check "FTP" and click OK. Enable SSL security in the setup screen for your FTP client. The procedure depends on the FTP client software.

SSL Keys

SSL keys are used during setup screen operations and FTP communication. SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is a type of encryption system called public key encryption. Generally, SSL is managed by the two files below.

server.crt (SSL Certificates)

The TeraStation sends the file to a computer, and the computer uses it to perform encryption. The TeraStation receives the encrypted data and uses server.key (the private key) to decrypt the data.

In SSL, this key contains the server certificate, and depending on your computer environment, a check may be performed to determine the trustworthiness of the certificate. The server certificate included in the TeraStation in the default settings was created by Buffalo, and in some cases the message "There is a problem with this website's security certificate" may be displayed in your browser or other software. Disregard this message and continue.

server.key (SSL Key)

This file is used as a pair with server.crt (server certificate). This is required for decrypting the data that was encrypted by the server certificate, and this is normally not revealed.

Updating SSL Key

To update a server certificate and a private key for SSL, follow this procedure.

1 Navigate to Management - SSL.

2 Register "server.key" for "Secret Key" and "server.crt" for "Server Certificate (.crt)", then click Import.

Notes:

• Place the SSL key files (server.key, server.crt) directly below the C root drive. The SSL key may not be able to be updated if it is placed in folders or paths that contain multi-byte characters.
  • Use the provided password for the SSL key.
  • If Settings cannot be displayed after updating, initialize the TeraStation settings.
• Updating the firmware initializes an SSL key.

Note: The internal clocks of the TeraStation and other devices on your network may run at slightly different speeds. Over a long period of time your network devices may show somewhat different times, which can cause network problems. If clocks on your network vary by more than 5 minutes it may cause unexpected behavior. For best results, keep all clocks on the network set to the same time by adjusting them regularly, or use an NTP server to correct them all automatically.

Changing the IP Address

Normally, the TeraStation's IP address is set automatically from a DHCP server on your network. If you prefer, you can set it manually. An easy way to do this is to change it from NAS Navigator2 running on a computer connected to the same router (subnet) as the TeraStation. The procedure to change the IP address in Settings is below.

Note: If the TeraStation is being used as an iSCSI hard drive, to change the settings, navigate to Drives - iSCSI in

Settings and move the iSCSI switch to the temporarily before changing network settings.

Notes:

• Do not set the same address for LAN port 1 and LAN port 2. This may cause unstable network communication.
• Use LAN port 1 to access different network subnets from the TeraStation. Access to a different network subnet is not possible from LAN port 2 since it doesn't have a default gateway.
• The following IP addresses are reserved and should not be used. If you configure one of them by accident, initialize all settings with the init button on the TeraStation.
  Local loopback address: 127.0.0.1, 255.255.255.0
  Network address: 0.0.0.0, 255.255.255.0
  Broadcast address: 255.255.255.255, 255.255.255.0
  The IP address range from 224.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255
