Asustor ADM 3.3 Beta OS for NAS
With Snapshot Center which adds support for Btrfs
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on January 3, 2019 at 2:08 pmAsustor Inc. has opened the floodgates for ADM 3.3 Beta OS for company’s NAS.
After upgrading to ADM 3.3 Beta, Snapshot Center will automatically appear to the ADM desktop.
The snapshot hub combines existing iSCSI LUN snapshots and can be restored using Btrfs snapshots, making it easier to manage snapshots, saving valuable time.
The snapshots can help to create a copy of the data almost immediately. Through advanced scheduling, detailed snapshots can be made to improve data restoration. At the same time, data integrity is better protected as well as helping to prevent important data from being lost or damaged. Data can also be quickly restored as well as the snapshot file in the file summary to view the details, and easily copy needed data to other shared folders.
The Btrfs snapshot feature will be available on the 31, 32, 40, 50, 51, 61, 62, 63, 64, 70 series. To enable this feature, select Support Snapshot Backup when initializing a NAS or select Btrfs within advanced setup. To convert to Btrfs, be sure to backup data first and then create a new Btrfs volume.
