Frequently Asked Questions - TeraStation 5000 BUFFALO

How do I access the TeraStation 5000's web interface?

Open a web browser and enter the IP address assigned to your TeraStation, or use the Buffalo NAS Navigator software to discover and access it.

What RAID levels are supported?

The TeraStation 5000 supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10. You can choose the level during initial setup or via the web interface.

Can I expand storage without losing data?

Yes, you can replace drives with larger ones and perform online RAID expansion as long as the RAID level allows it. Always backup data first.

How do I perform a factory reset?

Press and hold the INIT switch on the front panel for about 6 seconds until the status LED blinks, then release. This resets to factory defaults.

What backup options are available?

The device supports local backup to USB drives, remote backup to another NAS, and cloud backup to services like Amazon S3 or Dropbox.

How to set up a new user and shared folder?

Log into the web interface, go to Users to add users, then under Shared Folders create a new folder and assign permissions.

Yes, it supports Time Machine backups on macOS. Enable the service in the web interface under ‘Apple File Protocol’ settings.

What should I do if the NAS becomes unresponsive?

Try a soft reset using the web interface (System > Reboot). If that fails, perform a hard reset by holding the power button for 4 seconds.

How to replace a failed drive?

The TeraStation 5000 supports hot-swap. Remove the failed drive from its bay, insert a new identical or larger drive, and the system will automatically rebuild the RAID.

Notes:

• For best results, use an NTP server to maintain the time settings on the TeraStation and other network devices. Clocks for the network devices may run at slightly different speeds. If these devices get out of sync it may cause network problems.
• Buffalo is not responsible for any losses and damages incurred from using the ntp.jst.mfeed.ad.jp service or service outages.
• If the TeraStation cannot automatically obtain the time from an NTP server, check its DNS settings. If the NTP server is specified by a hostname instead of an IP address, make sure that a DNS server address is configured in Network - IP Address.

Recovery Drive

To initialize all of the TeraStation's settings, or just restore the admin password to its factory default value, create the recovery drives as described below.

For Initializing Settings

A system initialization drive can reset all settings to their default values.

Notes:

• Normally, making and using the system initialization drive will not affect data. However, always back up your data regularly!
• This USB drive can be used to recover the system if your TeraStation doesn't boot at all. In this case, if the data partition is damaged, then all your data will be deleted by the recovery process.

Note: All data on the USB flash drive will be erased!
2 In Settings, navigate to Management-Restore/Erase-USB Options.
3 Select Create a USB drive for initializing settings.
4 Select the USB memory device from "Target USB drive", then click Execute.
5 Enter the 4 digit confirmation number and click OK. The TeraStation will create the initialization drive. This will take about a minute.
6 When the "finished" dialog opens, the USB initialization drive is ready to use. Dismount the USB drive before unplugging it. See "Dismounting Drives" in chapter 4 for the instructions on dismounting drives.

For Resetting Password

A password initialization drive can reset the administrator password to its default value ("password"). This could be very

useful if you forget your admin password.

1 Insert a 1 GB or larger USB memory device (not included) to a USB 2.0 port on the TeraStation.
Note: All data on the USB flash drive will be erased!
2 In Settings, navigate to Management - Restore/Erase - USB Options.
3 Select Create a USB drive for resetting the admin password.
4 Select the USB memory device from "Target USB drive" list, then click Execute.
5 Enter the 4 digit confirmation number and click OK. The TeraStation will create the password reset drive. This will take about a minute.
6 When the "finished" dialog opens, the password reset drive is ready to use. Dismount the USB drive before unplugging it. See "Dismounting Drives" in chapter 4 for the instructions on dismounting drives.

For instructions on using system initialization or password initialization drives, see chapter 10.

Chapter 2 Configuration

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.

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.

Notes:

• You can prevent guests and other users from emptying the trash by navigating to File Sharing - SMB - Permissions for Trashbox and selecting "Administrator only".
• If you use Mac OS, make sure that your recycle bin enables "Exclude Mac OS temp files from recycle bin". If this setting is changed, files in the recycle bin may be corrupted.

Accounts

Your TeraStation username and password should be the same as your Windows username and password. If they are different, you may not be able to access folders on the TeraStation with access restrictions configured.

Read-only Shares

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

Hidden Shares

To hide a shared SMB folder, select "Hidden Share (SMB Only)" and click OK. To open a hidden folder, click Start - Search programs and files and enter "\TeraStation name\Shared folder name\" for the name. Example: If the TeraStation name is "TS-XX001" and the shared folder name is "share", then enter "-XX001\" to open it.

Note: FTP, SFTP, and AFP folders cannot be hidden.

Adding Users

1 In "File Sharing", select Users.

2 Click Create User.
3 Enter the desired settings, then click OK.

• The example above shows access restriction by user. To restrict access by group, click the Local Groups tab and select group permissions.
• If both read-only and read & write permissions are given to a user, the user will have read-only access. The most restrictive access always applies.
• 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.

$$ ? [ ] / \backslash = + < >;:"," | * $$

- Do not use any of the following words as a username or group name: root, bin, daemon, sys, adm, tty, disk, lp, sync, shutdown, halt, operator, nobody, mail, news, uucp, ftp, kmem, utmp, shadow, users, nogroup, all, none, hdusers, admin, guest, man, www, sshd, administrator, ftpuser, apache, mysql

- 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)

• 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 Macintosh, information files for the Macintosh may be generated automatically. Do not delete these files. If they are deleted using Windows, this may prevent further access from a Macintosh.
• 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 AppleShareServer; 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• After a drive is formatted, the "% Used" and "Amount Used" in Settings will not be 0. This is because some drive space is used for the system area.

Active Directory

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

Note: If usernames or group names from Active Directory include multi-byte characters, you will not be able to configure access restrictions for them.

12 Click OK.

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.
• 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.
• 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.
• When the TeraStation joins an Active Directory domain, FTP is disabled. Before use FTP, move the FTP switch back to the position.
• 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.

NT Domains

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.

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.
• 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.
• 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 the TeraStation has joined a domain network, you cannot connect to it via FTP.
• 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.

Delegating Authority to an External SMB Server

TeraStations on your network can be linked to an authentication server for centralized management of user accounts and passwords. The authentication server should be a LinkStation or another TeraStation.

Notes:

• Other external SMB authentication servers are not supported. Use a TeraStation or a LinkStation for the authentication server.
• When saving changes to the external authentication server settings, clicking Yes will convert all local users to external authentication users. If external authentication is disabled, all local user passwords will need to be reconfigured.
• Disable SMB2 before using external authorization with Windows 8.1 or Windows 8.
• Using external authentication may require the default security settings in Windows to be changed. An easy way to do this is to run the File Sharing Security Level Change Tool, available from www.buffalotech.com. This simple tool will let you change or restore your Windows security settings to work with external authentication.

1 In Settings, click Network.

Notes:

• If access restrictions are set for users and groups from the authentication server, guest and anonymous connections will not be possible with AFP or FTP connections.
• Users who are automatically registered belong to the "hdusers" group. They can be added to other groups from within group settings.
• If both read-only and read & write permissions are given to a user, the user will have read-only access.
• The names of registered users are listed in "Users" - "External Users". To delete a user who was registered automatically, select that user and click Delete External User.
• When connecting through AFP or FTP, always use an IP address. Using a server name may cause problems with authentication.
  • To specify a server from another subnet, enter its IP address.
• AFP and FTP connections do not support delegating authority to an external SMB server.
• Use AFP to access access-limited shared folders from OS X 10.7 instead of SMB. Enable "AFP (Mac)" under "LAN Protocol Support" on the destination folders to use AFP.
• Use OS X 10.5 or later with external authentication. Earlier versions of OS X aren't supported.

Chapter 4 Managing Your 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
TS5800D	RAID 5
TS5600D
TS5400D
TS5400R
TS5200D 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.
• 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 message "RAID I17 ARRAYx Resyncing" 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 changes 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 61\*\*\*

RAID 61 arrays are available for TeraStations with 8 or more drives. In this mode, two RAID 6 arrays are mirrored in a RAID 1 array. 8 drives in a RAID 61 array have a usable capacity of 2 x the capacity of the smallest drive.

RAID 60\*\*\*

RAID 60 arrays are available for TeraStations with 8 or more drives. In this mode, two RAID 6 arrays are combined in a RAID 0 array. 8 drives in a RAID 60 array will have a usable capacity of 4 x the capacity of the smallest drive.

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 51\*\*

RAID 51 arrays are available for TeraStations with 6 or more hard drives. In this mode, two RAID 5 arrays are combined into a RAID 1 array. The total usable space for 6 drives in a RAID 51 array is 2 x the capacity of the smallest drive. For 8 drives, the total usable capacity is 3 x the capacity of the smallest drive.

RAID 50\*\*

RAID 50 arrays are available for TeraStations with 6 or more hard drives. In this mode, two RAID 5 arrays are combined into a RAID 0 array. The total usable space for 6 drives in a RAID 50 array is equal to 4 x the capacity of the smallest drive. For 8 drives, the total usable space is equal to 6 x the capacity of the smallest drive.

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 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 TS5800D, TS5600D, TS5400D, and TS5400R series.
**Available for TS5800D and TS5600D series.
***Available for TS5800D series only.

Working with RAID Arrays

To change RAID settings, navigate to Drives - RAID in Settings.

Using JBOD

With JBOD, each hard drive in the TeraStation is addressed separately. To put drives from an array into JBOD, follow the steps below.

1 Select RAID.

2 Select the array to delete.

RAID Array List Name RAID Mode Status Unit Capacity Amount Used % Used File System Time Remaining Progress Array1 Options Close

3 Click Delete RAID Array.

Once JBOD is configured, create shared folders on each drive to use them.

Changing RAID Mode

To change the RAID mode, first put the drives in JBOD.

1 Select RAID.

2 Click the array to delete.

RAID Array List Name RAID Mode Status Unit Capacity Amount Used % Used File System Time Remaining Progress Array1 Options Close

Note: If the "RAID Mode" field is blank, the array is already in JBOD. Proceed to step 7.

3 Click Delete RAID Array.

4 The "Confirm Operation" screen will open. Enter the displayed number, then click OK.

5 Click OK.

6 Choose the array to configure.

7 Select a RAID mode and the drives to be used, then click Create RAID Array.

Array1 RAID Mode: RAID1 Add a disk to RAID array with RMM. Your data will be preserved. Select the drives to configure in a RAID array. Disk 1 Status Model Shared Folder Size Disk 1 Normal 1 > 899.9GB Disk 2 Normal - 899.9GB Select All Unselect All Resync after creating the RAID array Create RAID Array Cancel

Note: Normally, after a RAID array is created, it is "resynced", which optimizes the array, making it more stable. The resyncing process takes about 1 hour per terabyte of space in the array. File transfers will be slower during this period, but the array will remain fully usable. "RAID ARRAY x Resyncing" will be shown on the LCD display during the resync. If you uncheck "Resync after creating the RAID array", the resync will be skipped. This is not recommended for RAID 5 arrays, which should always be resynced. Resyncing is not needed for RAID 0 arrays. If the TeraStation is rebooted during the resyncing process, the resync will begin again from the beginning.

8 Step through the wizard to create the array.

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, RAID 51, or RAID 6 array.

Notes:

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.

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)
• Digital cameras
• USB-connected UPSs
• USB printers

Buffalo external USB drives are recommended.

These devices are not supported:

• DUB and DIU series drives
• Hubs, mice, and keyboards

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 to the TS5200D.

Notes:

• Hubs are not supported. Connect a single USB drive to each USB port.
• 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.
• If your USB 3.0 hard drive is not reconfigured after rebooting the TeraStation, unplug and reconnect it.

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 light up blue for 30 seconds as your USB drives are dismounted. When the dismount is finished, the function button's LED will turn off, then come back on. 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 Select Drives to dismount an internal drive or USB drives to dismount an external drive.

  • LVM volumes
• Access restrictions
• Direct connection to a Windows computer

Notes:

• Don't configure the boot drives (drives 1 and 2) as media cartridges.
• Configure media cartridges from the bottom drive up. For example, if your TeraStation has 4 drives, make drive 4 a media cartridge first, then drive 3 next.
• If the TeraStation fails to boot after drive 1 or 2 is replaced, remove any media cartridges, then replace them after the TeraStation has booted.

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 error "HDx Error E22 HDx Can't Mount" where X is the hard drive you removed. You can still use 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.

Install the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator

Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 Server

Before using iSCSI equipment with Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, or Windows 2000 Server, download and install the "Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator".

1 Go to http://www.microsoft.com.
2 Search for "Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator".
3 Download the latest version of the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator.
4 When the download is complete, double-click on the installer. Check the "Initiator Service" and "Software Initiator" checkboxes.
5 Step through the wizard to install.

Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008

If you are using Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2012, or Windows Server 2008, the Microsoft iSCSI Software Initiator is already installed on your computer. You don't need to download and install it.

iSCSI Setup

To use the TeraStation as an iSCSI hard drive, configure it as described below.

1 Connect the TeraStation's Ethernet and power cables and configure the TeraStation's IP address and its clock.

Hard Drive Replacement

Hard drives in the TeraStation show a blue status LED during normal operation. When a drive fails, its error LED will glow red.

TS5400D 1. BUFFALO 2.

TS5400R 2 1

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 for 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 takes 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.
- If the message "HDx Error E22 HDx Can't Mount" remains on the LCD display after the RAID rebuild is finished, reboot your 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, navigate to Folder Setup.

Folder Setup

1 Folder(s)

2 Choose the folder to set as a backup destination.
3 Click Edit.
4 Check "Backup" from "LAN Protocol Support", then 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.

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 (1518 bytes).
• You can also specify hostname by a fully qualified domain name (FQDN).

Configuring a Backup Job

1 In Settings, click Backup.

2 Click Right of "Backup".

3 Click Create New Job.

Backup List Backup Password: Set List of LinkStations and TersStations Create New Job Delete Job(s) Filter: Task Scheduled Day Time Operation Mode Status Select All Unselect All Close

Note: Up to 8 backup jobs can be configured.

4 Select backup settings such as date and time to run.

Backup Job Settings Name *: Schedule: Not scheduled Date and Time: Sunday 0 Hour 0 Minutes Operation Mode: Normal backup Versions: 16 Unfunded Options: Create a subfolder for backup Create backup log file Encrypted data transfer Compress and transfer Ignore backup errors and continue backup job on schedule Do not back up recycle bin Overwrite unchanged files Add Delete Filter: Backup Source Folder Name Backup Target Folder Name Select All Unselect All LinkStation and TeraStation List Update Backup Target NAS List OK Cancel

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.

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", enable "Backup". 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.

Notes:

• For best results, use static IP addresses for both replication TeraStations (source and target).
• 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.

2 Click light of "Replication".

3 Click Edit.

Replication Settings Filter: Replication Source Replication Target Unsynced Data Sync Edit Close

Note: Click Sync to synchronize the folders. All files from the source folder will be copied to the target folder.

4 Click Add.

Replication Settings Add Delete Filter: Replication Source Replication Target Select All Unselect All OK Cancel

5 Click Browse under "Replication Source".
6 Select the shared folder that will be the replication source, then click OK.

8 Select the shared folder that will be the replication target, then click OK.

Browse Folders Refresh TS5200D4E1@usbdisk1 TS5200D4E1@share OK Cancel

9 Click OK.

10 Click Yes.

Notes:

• 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 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 replication is configured via LAN port 2 and DHCP is used, the TeraStations may not automatically recover from network disconnection. If this happens, restart the TeraStations. For best results, give both replication TeraStations static IP addresses.

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["Backup"]
    D --> E["Laptop 1"]
    D --> F["Laptop 2"]
    D --> G["Laptop 3"]
    D --> H["Laptop 4"]
    D --> I["Laptop 5"]
    D --> J["Laptop 6"]
    D --> K["Laptop 7"]
    D --> L["Laptop 8"]

Notes:

• 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, a "Replication I33 ReplicateFailure" error will occur.
• All drive bays of a TeraStation should be occupied if it will be used for failover. Failover will not work if a drive is missing from any bay.

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"] -->|LAN port 1| B["Main"]
    A -->|LAN port 1| C["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 port 1| B["Main"]
    A -->|LAN port 1| C["Backup"]
    B -->|LAN port 2| D["Main"]
    B -->|LAN port 2| E["Backup"]

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.

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, then if 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.

Configuring Failover

1 In Settings, click Backup.

2 Open Failover.

3 Click Edit Failover Status.

4 Select a TeraStation to be the target backup device.

Failover Settings Status: Standalone Registered Backup Device: TSS200D4ED/192.168.11.51 (LAN 1) Backup LAN Port: LAN 1 LAN 2 Admin Password of the Failover: Target: Use TeraStations of the same model and storage capacity for the main and backup units. Set the Ethernet frame size to 1518 bytes for both units. Continue Close

Note: The target TeraStation's hostname, IP address, and LAN port number will be shown. The LAN port selected here will be used to check the main TeraStation for continued operation.

5 Enter the administrator password of the target backup device, then click Continue.

6 If the administrator password is correct, the backup TeraStation will beep.

7 To accept the settings from the main TeraStation, hold down the function button on the front of the backup TeraStation until it stops beeping.

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 1518 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 "1518" bytes.
• Files whose filenames contain more than 80 alphanumeric characters will not be backed up.
• If a "Replication I33 ReplicateFailure" error appears on the LCD display, navigate to Backup - Replication and click Sync.
• Don't use the same TeraStation for both failover and replication, or failover and Time Machine.
• If the "Approve/Deny" window is displayed repeatedly or failover does not start, shut down both the main and backup TeraStations. Turn on the main TeraStation first and let it boot up. Then power up the backup TeraStation. Reconfigure failover.

Maintenance Mode

If failover is configured, change to maintenance mode temporarily before turning off the TeraStation or updating the firmware. Maintenance mode can be enabled and disabled at Backup - Failover in the main TeraStation's Settings. You have an option to disable the maintenance mode with the function button. Hold down the function button on the main TeraStation.

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.

Network Problems

If network problems occur, the following messages may appear on the TeraStation's LCD display even though neither TeraStation has failed. If this happens, disable and then reset failover.

• "FailOver I49 LostMainTarget" - This message (I49) is displayed on the LCD panel of the backup TeraStation when operation switches from the main TeraStation to the backup TeraStation.
• "E27: LostBackupTarget" - This message (E27) is displayed on the LCD panel of the main TeraStation if it is no longer able to detect the backup TeraStation on the network.

Switching to the Backup Unit

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 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.

• The message "Virus alert I34" 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 "Virus alert I34" 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. Setting email notification is recommended.

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

• 10,000 files: \~ 30 minutes
• 100,000 files: \~ 5 hours
• 1,000,000 files: \~ 50 hours

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 such as AMD's Magic Packet utility. 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.
2 Connect the AC cable of the TeraStation to the UPS.
3 Connect the UPS and TeraStation using a USB cable or serial cable.
4 Turn on the UPS, then the TeraStation.
5 In Settings, click Management.

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 TeraStation on the same network" After making this selection, enter the IP address of the TeraStation that will be the sync source in "Other 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.

*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

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

Notes:

• 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.
• 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.

Encrypting Data Transmission

Encrypting Settings Data

All communication to 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, in the shared folders settings, select FTP under LAN Protocol Support in Settings. Enable SSL security in the setup screen for your FTP client. The procedure depends on the FTP client software.

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)

In this system, the TeraStation sends this file to the computer, and the computer uses this key to perform encryption. The TeraStation receives the encrypted data and uses server.key (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 Technology, 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 Click Management - Light of "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.

Web Server

The TeraStation can be used as a web server. In addition to HTML files, images, and JavaScript, the TeraStation also allows installation of Perl script and PHP script files. The web server uses version 1.4.23 of lighttpd, version 5.8.8 of Perl, and version 5.2.10 of PHP.

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.

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
