Deleting Backup Images
Each time the backup job runs for a CIFS share or group of CIFS shares, the
backup image is saved to the local share (if configured for backups). To remove
these images, you must have administrator privileges.
To delete a backup image from a local CIFS share:
STEP 1
Login to the share using the "admin" username together with the password
configured for the administrator.
STEP 2
Go to the "backup" folder and delete the backup images (they appear as .tar.gz
files) as required.
Configuring the Connection Profile
The NSS has a default connection profile (maximum number of simultaneous CIFS
and FTP connections) that is appropriate for normal filesharing use. If you use the
NSS primarily to store security images and have more than two IP cameras
accessing the NSS at one time, you can set the connection profile to allow a
greater number of simultaneous FTP connections and less simultaneous CIFS
connections. The number of connections possible is different between the
different NSS models.
