faults, click Finish. Otherwise, specify the disk space
allocations for the home user folders and the public
folders in GB. The remaining space is allocated for
backup. When you are done, click

ImpOrTANT INfO:
You can expand the
amount of disk space allocated for shared folders
later (as long as free disk space is available), but
you cannot reduce it without re-configuring your
disks and losing all your data. If you plan to back
up computer disks to your Ethernet Disk RAID,
it is recommended that you use the minimum
amount of space for shared folders, back up all
the computer disks that you plan to protect, and
then expand the space allocated for shared fold-
ers. This ensures that adequate space is available
for backups.
