A volume is storage space that can be made up of one or more disk drives, or of only part of a single disk drive. The default volume and shares are appropriate for typical use, so that you can get started storing, sharing, and protecting your files right away. However, as a BlackArmor administrator, you can also use BlackArmor Manager to create more volumes and shares on your BlackArmor NAS 110 server if you want to divide the total storage space into smaller amounts that you can allocate for different uses. For instance, you could create a second volume to hold different types of information: · · Volume A: Business and Media Files Volume B: Backup File Storage You could then create one or more folders (shares) in each volume to suit your needs: · Volume A: Business Files · · · · Share 1: Client Files Share 2: Financial Files Share 3: Human Resources Files Volume B: Backup File Storage · · Share 1: Daily Backups Share 2: Month-end Backups BlackArmor® NAS 110 User Guide 32 Managing Volumes, Shares and Storage Working with Volumes By default, the available storage space in your BlackArmor NAS 110 server is configured into one volume. Creating New Volumes As a BlackArmor administrator, you can create all the shares you want in the default volume, or you can create a second volume using BlackArmor Manager. When you create a volume, you can specify the size of the volume; any remaining space is available for the second volume. You can have one or two volumes on the drive, providing the first volume does not use all of the drive's space. For instance, you could use half the drive's space for Volume A, and the other half of the space on the drive to create Volume B. To create a new volume, open BlackArmor Manager (see page 19). For more information on volumes, including deleting and modifying volumes, see the online Help.

Use caution when deleting shares from your server. Private Shares A private share is associated with one user account, and only BlackArmor users with permission can access that share.
