Chapter 3 Tutorials 3.6 Power Resume To keep the NSA operating as much of the time as possible, do the following to have the NSA automatically restart when the power comes back on after a power failure. Click Maintenance > Power Management. Select Always Power On and click Apply. Figure 75 Maintenance > Power Management 3.7 How to Use Backups and Snapshots Use the NSA’s backup and snapshot features to backup your files and folders.
Chapter 3 Tutorials 3.7.1 Creating a Snapshot Job Here’s an example of configuring hourly snapshots for a volume. 1 Click Protect > Snapshot > Add Job.
Chapter 3 Tutorials 2 Enter a name for the job, select the volume of which to take snapshots, set the number of snapshot images to keep (2 in this example). For the frequency, set it to occur every hour. Click Apply. " It’s strongly recommended to set the maximum amount of snapshots setting as low as possible as a high amount of snapshots can significantly reduce the volume’s file write performance. Figure 77 Protect > Snapshot > Add Job 3.7.
Chapter 3 Tutorials For example, Gonzo accidently overwrote his 2009-Plan.doc file. Use Windows Explorer to browse to the Gonzo share. (The Quick Start Guide covers how to map a share to a Windows network drive). Figure 79 Using a Snapshot Image • There is a snap-share folder with a folder for each snap-shot of volume contents to which Gonzo has access.
Chapter 3 Tutorials 2 Name the backup job and select Synchronization. Gonzo wants only his current set of files in the remote NSA’s folder, so you select Mirror to make the target folder identical to the source folder. The NSA deletes any other files in the target folder.
Chapter 3 Tutorials 3 Select the folder that needs to be mirrored (the Gonzo share’s Strategic-Partners folder in this example) and Remote. • Enter the other NSA’s address and administrator password. • Click Show target content to display the remote NSA’s contents. • Select the destination on the remote NSA (Backups in this example). • Click Next.
Chapter 3 Tutorials 4 Click OK in the warning dialog box. Figure 83 Protect > Backup > Add Job: Step 3 5 For this example, assume the connection to the German branch office is a good one and not many files need to be backed up so leave the compression off. • Turn on the encryption to protect these sensitive files during the transfer. The final files stored on the remote NSA will be unencrypted (usable).
Chapter 3 Tutorials 6 Schedule the backup to occur every morning at 3:00 and click Done. Figure 85 Protect > Backup > Add Job: Step 4 You do not need to use a special restore process to use the files a synchronization backup creates. The copy of files that the NSA creates on the other NSA’s Backups share can be used directly by anyone with access to that share. 3.7.5 Creating an Archive Backup To backup the NSA every week to a remote NSA: 1 Click Protect > Backup > Add Job.
Chapter 3 Tutorials 2 Identify the backup job and select Archive. New files are often added to the shares that you need to back up and existing files are not frequently changed so select Incremental. The NSA does a full backup first and later only copies source files that are new and/or modified since the last backup. This example sets the NSA to do another full backup after every four incremental backups.
Chapter 3 Tutorials 3 Select the volume1 check box to select all the folders and files. Select Remote and enter the other NSA’s address, username, password, and share name. If you want to make sure the remote NSA is reachable, click Test Connection.
Chapter 3 Tutorials 4 In this example, the target NSA is on the LAN so leave the compression off. Security is already configured on the target NSA so you can leave the encryption off, too. Have the NSA keep 3 backups. Figure 89 Protect > Backup > Add Job: Step 3 5 Set the frequency to Weekly. Schedule the backup for 5:00 every Saturday morning. Figure 90 Protect > Backup > Add Job: Step 4 3.7.
Chapter 3 Tutorials 1 Click Protect > Backup screen, select a backup job and click Restore Archive. Figure 91 Protect > Backup 2 Select which backup to use and click Next.
Chapter 3 Tutorials 3 Select the Gonzo share and click Next. Figure 93 Protect > Backup > Restore Archive: Step 2 4 Select the original location and click Done.
Chapter 3 Tutorials 5 The NSA restores the files into the Gonzo share. When it finishes you can access the files. Figure 95 Protect > Backup > Restore Archive: Progress Gonzo 3.7.7 Restoring by Backup Files If you deleted an archive backup job or the NSA or the RAID array containing the backup job failed you cannot restore archived files by the backup job. In this example, the NSA’s RAID array failed. You’ve replaced the hard drives and re-configured the RAID.
Chapter 3 Tutorials 2 Select the backup job and backup time and click Next. Figure 97 Protect > Restore: Step 2 3 Select everything in the Gonzo share except the recycle folder. Click Next.
Chapter 3 Tutorials 4 Specify where you want to put the files. Browse to “/Gonzo”. Click Done. Figure 99 Protect > Restore: Step 4 The NSA restores the files and you can use them again. 3.8 Printer Server Tutorial Do the following to configure the NSA to allow computers on your network to share a printer. See www.zyxel.com for a list of compatible printers. 1 Make sure the NSA is on and the SYS light shines steadily. 2 Use a USB cable to connect the printer’s USB port to one of the NSA’s USB ports.
Chapter 3 Tutorials 3 Turn on the printer. The NSA detects it after a few moments. 4 On your computer, open your CIFS file sharing program (Windows Explorer for example) and browse to the NSA. Double-click the printer’s icon. Figure 101 Printer Connected to NSA: Windows Explorer 5 If you get a warning screen, click the option that lets you continue (Yes in this example).
Chapter 3 Tutorials Figure 104 Applications > Print Server After the driver installation finishes, the computer is ready to use the printer. Select the printer in an application to use it to print. Browse to the NSA using a CIFS program (like Windows Explorer) and double-click the printer’s icon to open the printer’s queue of print jobs. Figure 105 Printer Screen in Windows Explorer " Repeat steps 4 to 7 on your other computers so they can also use the printer. 3.
Chapter 3 Tutorials 3.9.1 Connecting External USB Hard Drives The easiest way to increase the NSA’s storage capacity is to connect an external USB hard drive. External USB hard drives are great for providing storage capacity for scheduled backups and snapshots of internal volumes. (External volumes can be the destination for a scheduled backup or snapshot, but only an internal volume can be the source.) Use the following procedure.
Chapter 3 Tutorials " If the new hard drives have any data you want to keep, back it up to another location before you install them. Adding these hard drives to a disk array formats them so all data stored on them will be lost. 1 See the Quick Start Guide for details on installing hard drives in the NSA’s bays. You can install hard drives while the NSA is operating. 2 Click Storage > Internal Volumes > Disk and make sure the new drive displays with a healthy status.
Chapter 3 Tutorials 4 Select RAID5 Reshape and click Apply. Figure 110 Storage > Internal Storage > RAID > Add Disk 5 After the NSA finishes adding the disk to the array, click the Disk tab. The new disk displays the same Type and RAID Array as the other disks in the array. Figure 111 Storage > Internal Storage > Disk You have completed adding the hard drive to the RAID array. Continue to Section 3.9.3 on page 109 for how to use the increased storage capacity. 3.9.
Chapter 3 Tutorials 1 Click the Volume tab. Select a volume and click Edit. Figure 112 Storage > Internal Storage > Volume 2 Increase the size and click Apply. Figure 113 Storage > Internal Storage > Volume > Edit 3 Repeat these steps for other volumes that need more storage capacity. 3.9.4 Migrating a RAID to Higher Capacity Hard Drives You can migrate a RAID 5 array to hard drives of higher capacity. Replace one hard drive at a time and recover the RAID before you go on to replace another hard drive.
Chapter 3 Tutorials 1 Click Storage > Internal Storage > Disk to list the installed disks. Select a disk to replace first (disk 1 in this example) and click Eject. Figure 114 Storage > Internal Storage > Disk 2 Click Apply. Figure 115 Storage > Internal Storage > Disk > Eject 3 Remove the hard drive. The NSA sounds an audible alarm. 4 Log out of the Web Configurator and then back in. The Log Message screen shows that the RAID is degraded, click Turn Off Buzzer to stop the audible alarm.
Chapter 3 Tutorials 5 Open the administration screens. In the Status screen the RAID array shows up as degraded. Figure 117 Status: RAID Degraded 6 Install the new hard drive. In this example it’s in disk drive bay 2. 7 The NSA automatically repairs a degraded RAID if you insert an empty disk without an existing file system. Otherwise, after you insert a disk you must go to the Storage > Internal Storage > RAID screen and click Repair.
Chapter 3 Tutorials 9 The RAID’s status displays as Recovering. Figure 120 Storage > Internal Storage > RAID After the recovery finishes and the status shows up as Healthy, reboot the NSA. Then you can use the same process to migrate any (or all) of the RAID’s drive as long as you replace them one-by-one and recover the RAID after each replacement.

Chapter 6 Storage Screens lost. Parity protection is used with striping, and the “n” pieces of data are typically the blocks or bytes distributed across the drives in the array. The parity information can either be stored on a separate, dedicated drive, or be mixed with the data across all the drives in the array. " In the following figures, A1, A2, A3 and so on are blocks of data from the A file. Similarly, B1, B2, B3 and C1, C2, C3 ar blocks of data from the B and C files. 6.9.
Chapter 6 Storage Screens 6.9.3 RAID 0 RAID 0 spreads data evenly across two or more disks (data striping) with no mirroring nor parity for data redundancy, so if one disk fails the entire array will be lost. The major benefit of RAID 0 is performance. The following figure shows two disks in a single RAID 0 array. Data can be written and read across disks simultaneously for faster performance.
Chapter 6 Storage Screens RAID 1 capacity is limited to the size of the smallest disk in the RAID array. For example, if you have two disks of sizes 150 GB and 200 GB respectively in one RAID 1 array, then the maximum capacity is 150 GB and the remaining space (50 GB) is unused.
Chapter 6 Storage Screens 6.9.6 RAID 5 RAID 5 provides the best balance of capacity and performance while providing data redundancy. It provides redundancy by striping data across three disks and keeps the parity information (AP) on the fourth disk (in each stripe). In case of disk failure, data can be recovered from the surviving disks using the parity information. When you replace the failed disk, the reconstructed data is written onto the new disk.
Chapter 6 Storage Screens 6.9.8 RAID and Data Protection If a hard disk fails and you’re using a RAID 1, RAID 10, or RAID 5 array then your data will still be available (but at degraded speeds until you replace the hard disk that failed and resynchronize the array). However, RAID cannot protect against file corruption, virus attacks, files incorrectly deleted or modified, or the NSA malfunctioning.

CHAPTER 7 Network Screens This chapter discusses the network screens. 7.1 Network Screens Overview Use the network screens to configure the NSA’s network settings so computers can access it. 7.1.1 What You Can Do in the Network Screens • Use the TCP/IP screen (Section 7.2 on page 160) to configure the NSA’s TCP/IP network connection settings such as the teaming mode and IP addresses. • Use the Windows/CIFS screens (Section 7.
Chapter 7 Network Screens DHCP DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the NSA as a DHCP client which means it is set to receive an IP address from a DHCP server. The NDU can help you discover the IP address of the NSA. Alternatively, configure a static IP address for the NSA. Jumbo Frames Jumbo frames are Ethernet frames larger than 1500 bytes.
Chapter 7 Network Screens Figure 140 Fault Tolerance Teaming Mode LAN1 LAN2 Load Balancing: This distributes the traffic load across LAN1 and LAN2. LAN1 and LAN2 are on the same subnet with the same IP address. It also includes backup functionality (fault tolerance). Figure 141 Load Balancing Teaming Mode LAN1 LAN2 Link Aggregation: This uses IEEE 802.3ad port link aggregation to combine LAN1 and LAN2 into a single logical link with greater bandwidth.
Chapter 7 Network Screens " If you enable jumbo frames on the NSA in a network that does not support them, you will lose access to the NSA. If this occurs, you will have to restore the factory default configuration. Use the RESET button or the Web Configurator. In the following example, the NSA has jumbo frames enabled and set to 9KB frames. This means the computer, notebook computer, and switch must also have jumbo frames enabled and be capable of supporting 9KB frames.

CHAPTER 9 Protect Screens 9.1 Protection Methods Overview This chapter introduces different ways of protecting data on the NSA and explains how to use the Protect screens to create and schedule snapshots and backups. There are a variety of ways to protect your data on the NSA. Below is a summary table of preventative steps you should do in advance to protect against various problems.
Chapter 9 Protect Screens 9.1.1 What You Can Do in the Protect Screens • Use the Backup screens (Section 9.2 on page 200) to back up data and restore backup files by archive backup job. • Use the Restore screens (Section 9.3 on page 212) to restore by backup files. • Use the Snapshot screens (Section 9.4 on page 215) to create and manage snapshot jobs. • Use the Backup Software screen (Section 9.5 on page 220) to locate the Genie Backup Manager license keys. 9.1.
Chapter 9 Protect Screens To use a snapshot to restore files, use the MyNSA screens, CIFS (Windows Explorer), or FTP to browse to the snapshot image folder. The snapshot folder contains images named after the folders and files in the volume at the time of the backup. To restore a folder or file to its state at the time of the snapshot, open the snapshot image of the same name. You can also copy or move the snapshot image to another folder (outside the snapshot folder).
Chapter 9 Protect Screens Finding Out More See Chapter 6 on page 125 for more information on RAID. See Section 3.7 on page 89 for backup and snapshot tutorials. 9.2 NSA Backup Screens Use the Protect > Backup menus to create data backups to another volume, an external USB disk drive, or a computer or another NSA over the network. The NSA deletes old backups according to the backup job’s purge policy (see Section 9.2.2 on page 202) before creating a new backup.
Chapter 9 Protect Screens Figure 166 Protect > Backup The following table describes the icons in this screen. Table 68 Protect > Backup Icons ICON DESCRIPTION Add Job Click this icon to create a new backup job (see also Section 9.2.2 on page 202). Edit Job Select a backup job and click this icon to modify it’s settings. Delete Selected Jobs(s) Select a backup job(s) and click this icon to remove the job(s). This does not delete any backup files the backup job has already created.
Chapter 9 Protect Screens Table 68 Protect > Backup Icons (continued) ICON DESCRIPTION Abort Job If a backup job is currently running, you can select it and click this icon to stop and abort the job. Sort Click a column’s heading cell to sort the table entries by that column’s criteria. Click the heading cell again to reverse the sort order. The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Chapter 9 Protect Screens The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 70 Protect > Backup > Add Job: Step 1 LABEL DESCRIPTION Job Name This is a required field that uniquely identifies the backup. Type from 1 to 15 characters. You can use alphanumeric characters (A-Z 0-9) and "_" [underscores]. The first character must be a letter. Job Description Type from 0 to 60 characters to further describe this backup.

Chapter 9 Protect Screens Table 72 Protect > Backup > Add Job: Step 3 (continued) LABEL DESCRIPTION Purge Policy Select a policy for deleting archive backups. This purge runs first before a new backup is done. For example, if you have a backup scheduled to begin at midnight, then at that time, the NSA checks these settings and deletes files accordingly before backup takes place. If space on the backup NSA or disk is a concern, then configure the NSA to delete old backups.

Chapter 9 Protect Screens " " The snapshot capture fails if deleting all previous snapshots does not leave enough space for the new snapshot. To take the snapshot, make more free space on the disk array by recreating a volume with a smaller capacity or upgrading the disk array to a larger storage capacity. It’s strongly recommended to set the maximum amount of snapshots setting as low as possible as a high amount of snapshots can significantly reduce the volume’s file write performance.

CHAPTER 12 Troubleshooting 12.1 Troubleshooting Overview This chapter offers some suggestions to solve problems you might encounter. The potential problems are divided into the following categories. • • • • • Power, Hardware Connections, and LEDs NSA Login and Access Users Cannot Access the NSA Backups and Snapshots External USB Disks 12.2 Power, Hardware Connections, and LEDs V The NSA PWR LED does not turn on (no LEDs are on). • Make sure the NSA is turned on.
Chapter 12 Troubleshooting After replacing the disk, go to the Storage > Internal Storage > RAID screen. If the array’s status is not Resynching, select the array and click the Repair icon. V The NSA SYS LED is orange or is flashing orange. • If the SYS LED is steady on orange, then the NSA is unlocking an encrypted volume or there are no volumes in the NSA. If there are no volumes on the NSA, you cannot create shares on the NSA.
Chapter 12 Troubleshooting • Make sure the Ethernet cable is connected properly to the NSA and connected to another (Ethernet) device. Make sure the other device is turned on. If it’s connected directly to a computer, make sure that the computer network card is working (ping 127.0.0.1 on the computer). • Use another Ethernet cable. If you’re connecting to a Gigabit Ethernet, make sure you’re using an 8-wire Ethernet cable. • If the problem continues, contact the vendor. See Section 1.1.
Chapter 12 Troubleshooting • Confirm that the computer running the NDU has a network connection. See the section on the NSA’s LAN connection for related information. • The computer running the NDU can only discover NSAs in the same subnet. NSAs connected to the same switch or router as your NDU computer are usually in the same subnet unless the router is doing subnetting or the switch is implementing VLAN. • The Genie Backup program uses the same network port as the NDU to discover the NSA.
Chapter 12 Troubleshooting 12.4 Users Cannot Access the NSA V A local user cannot access a share • Check that the NSA is turned on and connected to the network. The local user should try to ping the NSA or use the NDU to discover it. • The local user should check that he entered his login name and password correctly. • Check if the share exists and has the correct access settings for this user. • Check the Access Control List (ACL) of read/write permissions associated with specific files and/or folders.
Chapter 12 Troubleshooting • Leave the domain and re-join it. V A domain user can’t access a share. In addition to the checks listed previously for local users, check that the domain controller is turned on and connected to the network. V A user can access a share but cannot access individual folders or files within the share. Check the Access Control List (ACL) of read/write permissions associated with the share’s specific files and/or folders.
Chapter 12 Troubleshooting You may need to manually delete some previous snapshots to make more space. If you still cannot take the snapshot you may need to recreate the volume with a larger amount of space reserved for snapshots. • You can also check the logs on the NSA to find out the reason why the snapshot failed. • A snapshot must be done on a complete volume. Check that the volume is not down, locked, or degraded. If it is, then see Section 12.2 on page 249.
