Chapter 5 Backup
*Even if the function is disabled, the settings may remain if the settings were configured beforehand. Initialize all
settings before configuring failover.
Setting Restrictions
The following functions will not be available while failover is enabled:
Initializing settings, changing the RAID settings, formatting drives, iSCSI volume, changing the backup TeraStation’s
settings, turning the TeraStation on and off, updating the firmware
While failover is enabled, shutdown, power-on, and firmware update operations can be made available by
temporarily putting the TeraStation into maintenance mode. Maintenance mode can be enabled or disabled at
Backup > Failover in the main TeraStation’s Settings. Click Maintenance mode to enable maintenance mode, or click
Cancel maintenance mode to disable maintenance mode.
To update the firmware while in maintenance mode, the main TeraStation can be updated from Settings, but the
backup TeraStation cannot. Download the firmware updater from the
Buffalo website for the backup TeraStation
and try updating the firmware on it.
