V i ew ing information about your storage system
The Home page can display two dif f eren t views: Storage Status and Connection
Status
. You can switch from one view to the o t her by clicking the desired button on
the
Home page.
l Storage Status —Displays information abou t the to t al storage capacity on the
storage
system , how much disk space is allocated for shared folders, how much
is currently used by backups , and how much is available f or either . (Initially ,
there is no used backup space. The information on this page changes as each
compu
t er backs up it s hard disks t o the storage system. You might have to
refresh
the browser window t o reflect these changes.)
This page also indicates how much of the storage space allocated for shared
folders
is actually used, the total number of shared folders, and the number of
networked
computers (backup clients) that have backed up one or more disks
on
the storage system.
Note: The total storage capacity will be less than the total size of all your hard disks
because some of the disk space is needed for the operating system and
management
sof t ware.
In addition, t he amount o f used backup capacity will be greater than the to t al
size
of all the disks listed on the Backups page because additional storage
space
is needed for the da t a that has changed between backups .
