Saving and Applying Settings

The TeraStation’s settings can be saved to a USB memory device and restored to another TeraStation. Use this function to back up and copy settings to a new TeraStation.

Make a note of the hard drive configuration (number of hard drives, RAID, LVM, etc.) of the TeraStation where the settings were saved. Make sure that any TeraStation that you apply these settings to has exactly the same hard drive configuration before you apply the settings. If the drive configuration is different, you may get unexpected results.
