What You Can Do With the BlackArmor Server

What You Can Do With the BlackArmor Server

In general, you can use your BlackArmor server to:

Create a central storage place for the files you want to share with other people on your local network or over the Internet.

Create and maintain automatic backup copies of all your files—even your operating systems.

Share your files—contracts, business presentations, progress reports, and so on—with other people on your local network or with business clients over the Internet.

Recover quickly from a disaster, such as the unintentional deletion of important files, the failure of a disk drive, the loss or theft of your computer.

Access your BlackArmor server over the Internet from anywhere in the world to download files that you need where you are, or upload files that you want to secure or share while you’re out of the office.

Share a USB printer with other people on your local network.

Create a media server so that everyone on your local network can enjoy downloaded photos, videos, and music.

Enable the iTunes® service on the server so that users can stream music directly to a network computer with iTunes installed.

The Difference Between a BlackArmor Administrator and User

In addition to the features that can be used by everyone, such as file sharing, your BlackArmor server has behind-the-scenes, administrative features that should be accessed by only one or two people who are referred to in this guide as BlackArmor administrators.

Everyone who accesses the BlackArmor server is referred to in this guide as a BlackArmor user.
