Managing Volumes, Shares and Storage enable the iTunes service so that BlackArmor users can stream music directly to a network computer with iTunes installed (see page 24). Managing Volumes, Shares and Storage This section discusses: • Understanding Volumes and Shares • Working with Volumes • Working with Shares • Setting Storage Space Limits for BlackArmor Users • Setting Grace Time for Exceeded Quotas • Controlling Web File Downloads to the BlackArmor Server Understanding Volumes and Shares By default, your BlackArmor NAS 110 server is configured with one volume and two shares: Download and Public. A volume is storage space that can be made up of one or more disk drives, or of only part of a single disk drive. A share is a folder. Shares are created within volumes. The default volume and shares are appropriate for typical use, so that you can get started storing, sharing, and protecting your files right away. However, as a BlackArmor administrator, you can also use BlackArmor Manager to create more volumes and shares on your BlackArmor NAS 110 server if you want to divide the total storage space into smaller amounts that you can allocate for different uses. For instance, you could create a second volume to hold different types of information: • Volume A: Business and Media Files • Volume B: Backup File Storage You could then create one or more folders (shares) in each volume to suit your needs: • Volume A: Business Files • Share 1: Client Files • Share 2: Financial Files • Share 3: Human Resources Files • Volume B: Backup File Storage • Share 1: Daily Backups • Share 2: Month-end Backups BlackArmor® NAS 110 User Guide 32
