Managing Your Storage System 8. Your storage system is divided into several partitions, one for shared folders, one for home folders, and one for backups. The maximum amount of a shared folder space is 2 TB (1 TB=1024 GB). The minimum space requirement is 200 MB. You can allocate more space now or accept the default minimum space allocation. To allocate additional space, select the Specify disk space button and specify 1 GB (1024 MB) or higher. To allocate the maximum available, select the Add maximum available disk space" raid button. After setting the appropriate value, hit OK. The folder is created and the Shared Folders screen will be displayed. Note: You can expand the amount of disk space allocated for shared or home folders later as long as free disk space is available, but you cannot reduce it without reconfiguring your disks and losing all your data. If you plan to back up computer disks to your storage system, it is recommended that you use the minimum amount of space for shared or home folders, back up all the computer disks that you plan to protect, and then expand the space allocated for shared folders. This ensures that adequate space is available for backups. 9. When the confirmation message displays, click OK. The screen displays the progress of the process: When this process is complete, the storage system restarts. 10. Close the browser window. After the system has restarted, you can access the Manager and re-create your users and shared folders as described in "Adding Users" on page 32 and "Creating Shared Folders" on page 35.
