4.When MAC OS X has connected to the 1U4500 successfully, an icon representing the folder will appear on the MAC OS X desktop. You can access the folder by double clicking on the icon.
File Backup
There are a number of ways to back up data with the 1U4500.
Nsync
You can backup a share folder to another 1U4500 (Nsync Target) or any FTP server for safe keeping as long as you have appropriate access right on that target. When using Nsync between two 1U4500s, you have the option to transmit files securely between two 1U4500s.
If the files on your 1U4500 are lost for any reason, you can restore those files from the target 1U4500. To backup files regularly, you can set up a scheduled task to run only once, daily, weekly, or monthly. You can also limit the bandwidth of your Nsync tasks, so other users on the network can share the bandwidth equally.
