Enhanced Recycle Bin Mechanism
The Network Recycle Bin mechanism has been updated in ADM 2.5.2 and is now based on individual shared folders rather than storage volumes. According to their needs, users can decide whether or not to enable a Network Recycle Bin for each individual shared folder, enjoying added configuration flexibility. Files that are moved to the Recycle Bin maintain their original directory structure, allowing added convenience should users need to search for already-deleted files. The simple one-click restore function will restore selected files to their original directory path while conveniently maintaining all properties and permissions settings.
Ultimate Data Protection
This Asustor NAS enclosure makes use of RAID storage technology to provide protection for your data. RAID mainly revolves around the core concept of combining your disks to protect the data inside. ASUSTOR offers a number of different RAID level configurations that you can choose from when creating storage volumes, including RAID 0, 1, and JBOD. Each RAID level offers a differing degree of data protection, system performance, and storage space.
Online Capacity Expansion
Not enough storage space? Supporting online capacity expansion, the Drivestor 2 Pro allows you to easily swap out all your old disks for higher capacity ones without turning off your NAS. Now you can increase the storage capacity of your NAS without worrying about getting an entirely new system. You must use RAID 1, 5, 6, or 10.
Uninterrupted Access
During the capacity expansion process, while your data is being transferred over to the new disks, you will still be able to access everything on the NAS. Online capacity expansion does not require any advanced IT skills to execute and helps you to eliminate cumbersome backup and migration procedures.
Rsync
Rsync is an application originally developed for UNIX that is usually used for backup and sync between two computers. By providing block-level replication, Rsync is able to offer incremental backup. Incremental backup allows for successive backup jobs to only copy data that has changed since your last backup job. Rsync is suitable for use with files and data that are always changing. It lets you cut down on backup time while significantly reducing bandwidth usage.
Flexible Backup Solution
The Rsync backup function supports two-way data transfers, incremental backup, encrypted backup, and regular scheduled backup jobs. This simplifies data backup while also substantially reducing the burden on IT staff. Asustor's Rsync backup function may be used to transfer or backup of data from your NAS to an Rsync compatible server or initiate downloads from an Rsync compatible server to your NAS.
Hybrid Cloud Protection
After installing the Google Drive App on your NAS array, you will be able to integrate both cloud and personal storage spaces. Google Drive's supported data transfer methods include downloading and uploading from the NAS to Google Drive and a two-way sync mode. Please note, Google documents and photos cannot be backed up. The frequency of synchronization is once every 5 minutes.
Set and Forget
Backup Plan software for Windows provides you with worry-free backup. Simply schedule a regular backup job of your Windows computer to your NAS, then let Backup Plan take care of the rest. Backup Plan will work in the background to ensure that your computer is always backed up.
Real Time Synchronization
Any data that is lost between scheduled backups is unprotected. Backup Plan lets you configure real time file synchronization for those important and ever-changing file folders. Any changes that you make to your protected files and folder will be updated in real time. Now you can rest assured knowing that your critical files are always protected and up to date.
Mission Mode
Never again worry about your critical backup jobs stopping or failing to complete. Sometimes backup jobs may be stopped because of various connection problems with a busy server on the other end. For Rsync, FTP, and external and cloud backups, Asustor's Mission Mode allows you to configure the number of connection attempts and time interval for connection attempts, ensuring for the successful completion of your backup mission. This also gives IT administrators a significant amount of flexibility when configuring backup jobs.
Optimized for Mac
Use your Mac's built-in backup, Time Machine, to easily back up your Mac to the Drivestor 2 Pro. All Asustor NAS devices have been optimized for use with Time Machine.
Multi-User Support
Different Mac users can now safely backup their computers to the same NAS device. Unlike other NAS devices, ASUSTOR NAS does not just use one group account to carry out backup jobs for all Mac users, storing all their jobs under the same directory. With ASUSTOR NAS each Mac user is able to use an independent account and backup location thereby guaranteeing privacy for all.
Mail Server
The ability to send and receive email is fundamental to all businesses. However, expensive implementation costs and complicated management create barriers for most small and medium sized businesses. Asustor's Mail Server offers a comprehensive and cost-effective solution that allows any business to easily maintain their own dedicated mail server.
FTP Server
FTP is one of the most widely used and popular transfer protocols in the world. Every Asustor NAS has a built-in FTP server feature that allows you to create a personal FTP server in just a matter of seconds.
