CHAPTER 6
Storage
This chapter covers the Storage screens of the NSA.
Note: Snapshot and RAID 0 are not supported by the NSA at the time of writing (the
first release), but they are included here as they will be supported in a later
release.
6.1 Storage Introduction
Use the Storage screens to create and manage NSA internal and external volumes, disks and
snapshots

. See Section 6.3 on page 81 for more information on volumes.
6.1.1 Snapshots
A snapshot is a backup of your NSA data on the NSA. If files within a volume become
infected or corrupted, you can revert the volume back to a previous snapshot. You can
continue to work, while the snapshot is taken. It's a good idea to save your open files first
before taking a snapshot.
If a volume is restored to a previous snapshot, then ALL files in that snapshot are returned to
the state they were in at the time of the snapshot.
The NSA uses EVMS (Enterprise Volume Management System) to create snapshots.
Note: Snapshots can be used on internal volumes only.
It’s a good idea to take a snapshot of your data before you make a backup. Backups may
require several hours depending on the amount of data you have to back up. It is not possible
to run programs (like FDISK), that access the disk directly, while backup is running.
6.2 Storage Overview Screen
Click the Storage link in the Navigation panel to access the Storage > Overview screen. This
is the first screen displayed.
