Chapter 9:

I enabled One Touch Backup and pressed the button on the SmartStor but 
no files were backed up. What happened? 

You must create a backup schedule using SmartNAVI. The backup schedule 
tells One Touch Backup which folders and files to backup from your PC onto 
the SmartStor. 

 

Which FTP clients are compatible with the SmartStor’s FTP server? 

Promise recommends FTP clients that support Unicode, such as Filezilla or 
Smart FTP for Windows, Filezilla for Linux, and Transmit v3.5.5 for Mac.   

If your FTP client does not support Unicode, you have two choices: 

․ 

Use only ASCII characters to name your shared folders. 

․ 

Set your SmartStor for double-byte character encoding. See page 148. 

 

Can I move the disk drives from one SmartStor to a different SmartStor? 

Yes. However, to access the RAID Volume on the new SmartStor, you must 
run the Recover function. When SmartStor’s memory does not match the 
RAID Volume on the disk drives, the RAID Volume is considered 

invalid 

and 

the Recover function becomes available. See “Responding to an Invalid 
RAID Volume” on page 218. 

 

I set up email alert recipients but they never receive any messages. 

In most cases, you must setup SMTP authentication in order for your alert 
messages to pass your SMTP server. See “Setting up SMTP Authentication” 
on page 176. 

 

Can SmartStor handle jumbo frames? 

Yes. But you must set the maximum frame size in WebPASM. See “Working 
with Jumbo Frames” on page 174. 

 

I tried to create a share folder called “Admin” but the WebPASM software 
would not let me. 

The Admin name is a reserved folder name. Choose another folder name. 

 

I created a share folder and gave it the same name as a local user. This 
action caused a conflict. 

The system does not check share folder names against user names, 
therefore it is possible to create two folders with the same name. If this 
happens, delete the share folder, so that only the user’s home folder 
remains.
