125 4 Managing the storage system The IPStor Express Manager is a Web-based storage system manager that enables you to perform a number of tasks to help you get the most from your storage system: • Managing users - Add, modify, or remove users; put users into groups; or change the authentication mode. • Managing shared folders - Create shared folders, rename existing shared folders, change which users can access existing shared folders or their access rights, or delete shared folders that you no longer want to keep. • Managing backups - View which computer HDDs are backed up, change the password for recovering a backup, specify which backup to remotely boot from, or delete a backup or backup client. • Setting up e-mail alerts - Specify whether or not e-mail notifications should be sent when a problem occurs, and who should receive the notifications. • Upgrading the firmware - Upgrade your storage system firmware to the latest version. • Disconnecting external devices - If you are using optional USB or eSATA devices, you must disconnect them using the IPStor Express Manager before you physically unplug them. • Changing the system settings - Change the storage system name or time and date settings, as well as the user name or password for logging in to the IPStor Express Manager. • Changing the network settings - Change the workgroup name, the storage system's IP address(es), the gateway or DNS server settings, or the settings that allow the storage system to act as a DHCP server or FTP server. • Reconfiguring your storage system - Change the proportions of your storage system that are allocated to shared folders and backups, or change your disk configuration.
