Buffalo TeraStation 5010 TS51210RH, User Manual, Page: 154 / 211

Notes:
• If the migration target TeraStation contains shared folders, users, and groups that share the same name as the
transferred settings, the existing settings will be overwritten.
• If the migration target TeraStations have already added some shared folders, users, and groups, the transferred
settings may exceed the maximum number of allowed shared folders, users, or groups. After migration finishes,
open Settings and verify that all settings were properly transferred.

Initializing with the USB Initialization Drive
An initialization drive will restore the settings on your TeraStation to their factory defaults. You can initialize them
without logging in to Settings. Follow the procedure below to create an initialization drive.
Notes:
• Initializing settings with the USB drive is available for the same TeraStation unit that created the initialization
drive.
• Normally, making and using an initialization drive will not affect data on the TeraStation. However, always back up
your data regularly!
• This USB drive can be used to recover the system if your TeraStation doesn't boot at all. In this case, if the data
partition is damaged, then all your data will be deleted by the recovery process.
