Protecting Your BlackArmor Files with Network Backups

BlackArmor® NAS 440/420 User Guide (Version 3) 37

Protecting Your BlackArmor Files with Network

Backups

Your BlackArmor server has two LAN ports, one of which must be used to connect the server

to your local network (port 1 by default). The server’s two LAN ports can be configured for link

aggregation, which means you can connect both LAN ports to your network at the same time

for failover protection: the other link (port) takes over if one link fails. See page 38.

Or, you can set up NAS to NAS backup, where a permanent link is created between your

BlackArmor server and another server on your network, and automatic and continuous

backups of your BlackArmor server take place. These continuous backups provide the best

protection against data or device loss, especially if the second server is located in a different

building or part of the city (or country) than your BlackArmor server.

Use BlackArmor Manager to set up the network connection between the two servers—the

BlackArmor Client (where your BlackArmor users’ files are stored) and the BlackArmor

Server (where the copies, or replicas, of the files are stored)—and begin the initial backup.

You can then use BlackArmor Manager to schedule recurring backups.

To back up from your BlackArmor® server to another server on your network, you first need

to enable the Backup Service.

1. Open BlackArmor Manager (see page 19).

2. In the menu bar, select Storage, then click Backup Manager.

3. In the Storage menu on the left side of the window, click Server Setting.

4. Click the check box beside Backup Service.
