[. . . ] NFS (Network File System)--Provides file sharing with computers running Linux or UNIX operating systems, or computers running NFS client software. Recycle Bin Service--You can protect the files on a share by enabling the BlackArmor Manager Recycle Bin. When the Recycle Bin is enabled on a share, BlackArmor Manager saves files deleted from the share so that they may be retrieved if you need them back. Drag&Sort Service--You can set a share to automatically download media files to a specific location on BlackArmor users' computers, based on the type of files being downloaded. For instance, downloaded music files would automatically be placed in a folder called Music. · To enable or disable any of these special features, open BlackArmor Manager (see page 17). For step-by-step instructions for using BlackArmor Manager, refer to the online Help. Setting Storage Space Limits for BlackArmor Users By default, your BlackArmor server imposes no limits on a user's storage space (except for the volume size set up for the user). However, as a BlackArmor administrator, you can set storage space limits on any user account or share. You can also set different limits for each user account, for each share that a user has access to, or set limits on some user accounts but not on others. If a BlackArmor user fills allocated storage space, older or unneeded files must be removed by a BlackArmor administrator to make room for additional files. To set storage space limits for BlackArmor users, open BlackArmor Manager (see page 17). Storage space limits are set per Volume on the Quota page, which is in the Storage menu. For step-by-step instructions for using BlackArmor Manager, refer to the online Help. BlackArmor® NAS 440/420 User Guide (Version 3) 34 Managing BlackArmor Volumes, Shares and Storage Setting Grace Time for Exceeded Quotas As a BlackArmor administrator, you can set a grace time limit, which allows a quota to exceed its storage limitations for a period of time. If the quota is reached, you can temporarily allow an additional 100 megabytes (MB) of storage space to be used. You might do this to ensure users have time to identify what files to keep or to preserve usable storage space. Once the grace date is reached, no additional files can be added until space is made available. To set the grace time for stored files, open BlackArmor Manager (see page 17). The grace time limit is set on the Quota page, which is in the Storage menu. See the BlackArmor Manager online Help for more information. Controlling Web File Downloads to the BlackArmor Server BlackArmor Manager includes a special tool for downloading large files directly to the server from FTP and other sites on the Web. This tool is called the Downloader, and it allows BlackArmor administrators to manage when large Web downloads take place so that the server isn't overwhelmed. The Downloader places Web download jobs in a queue, and jobs take place automatically in the order in which they appear in the queue. As a BlackArmor administrator, you can adjust the queue to re-prioritize download jobs. You can also impose limits on when Web download jobs can take place and how many can take place simultaneously (never more than three). You can limit Web downloads to evenings, weekends, or other slow times in the week. [. . . ] Mirroring provides data protection, and striping improves performance. See also mirror, and stripe. remote access Access to the server from a computer that is not on your local network. For instance, accessing the server from a client's computer, over the Internet, is remote access. Remote access can also refer to shutting down or resetting the server using BlackArmor Manager instead of physically pressing the Power button. [. . . ]
