3.4 Server Maintenance

For maintenance or technical support purpose, it is helpful and sometimes necessary to have an

overview of all system settings, current system status and, event better, all event logs. It also

helps a lot if a server itself can send out these files by email.

The NAS-3410 does all the above within several mouse-clicks.

First of all, you have to create a system folder, which is used for storing these files. The system

folder is also required when performing tape backup jobs. To create the system folder, please

open the Administration Page and go to the Server

ÎMaintenance menu. On the menu page,

select a volume to contain the system folder. And click Apply to create the system folder.

Once the system folder is created, you are able to save the system settings and event logs as

HTML files. On the same page, choose the files to save and click the Apply button. Before saving

the files, you can preview them by clicking the Preview: hyperlinks. Previewing will not create any

files in the system folder.

After generating these files, you can see them appear in the table. Click any hyperlink to view the

content of a file.

To email the save files, choose the files to save and check the Send the saved files by email

check-box. Enter the email address to send to. And click Apply to send them out by email, while
