October 28, 2015 by Robert Albury

Users have multiple options for addressing issues with the configuration of their QNAP network attached storage (NAS) devices. These options range from resetting or reinitializing the NAS (which will be looked at in an upcoming article) to backing up and restoring all settings, user accounts, the server name, and network configuration. This article is going to look at the process involved for backing up these settings as well as how to restore the backed up information.

To back up all settings, user accounts, the server name, and network configuration, please use the following steps:

  1. After logging into the TVS-463, open the Control Panel by clicking on the icon on the web interface desktop.QNAP desktop - new

One thing that should be noted is that backing up and restoring user settings with this method does not make any changes to stored files on the NAS such as media or backups from other computers, it only affects configuration related files.
