USING THE WD SENTINEL SERVER’S FEATURES

Remote Web Access Home Page

The Remote window includes the following sections:

Note: You can also use the navigation links at the top of the window to view these sections.

Computers

Note: Connecting to computers or the WD Sentinel server using Remote Web Access requires the Internet Explorer browser.

Click Connect to connect to your WD Sentinel server or to a computer on your network.

-If the Internet Explorer you are using does not have Active X Client, click OK to install it, then complete the wizard.

Shared Folders

Access shared folders on the WD Sentinel server. The folders may include Documents, Pictures, Music, Video, Recorded TV, and any additional shared folders the Administrator may create using the Dashboard. A user with "Read & Write" access to a particular shared folder is able to modify the contents of the existing files, upload new files, or delete files from the folder.

Note: Only the folders for which the user has permissions are displayed under Shared Folders on Remote Web Access.

Media Library

Browse through your pictures, music, videos, and recorded videos. The WD Sentinel server automatically discovers the media files and adds them to your media library. The built-in media capabilities allow you to view your pictures in a slideshow, steam digital music, or stream videos over the web.

Backing up (Windows PC)

The WD Sentinel server backup is based upon block level de-duplication, a process that backs up data without unnecessarily backing up the same data more than once. This powerful process uses less network traffic for execution, provides a full back-up at each backup time (although it behaves as if it is incremental), and by executing de-duplication across all client computers, the storage capacity requirements are significantly reduced. Backup becomes an automatic process for a computer once you install Connector software on it. With Connector software installed, all volumes and all NTFS data on that computer are backed up.

Note: For information on backing up your Mac using Time Machine, See “Backing up with Time Machine (Mac)” on page 45.
