Software

Settings Wizard

When you first fire the B3 up, it shows these three pages where you need to fill in the time zone, administrator name and password and also a domain for the Bubbaserver-service that makes accessing the drive easy. After these the B3 would in theory be ready to use, but ofcourse we want to also go through the rest of the settings.

Status

The first page in the control panel shows the amount of used and free space on the disc, the uptime of the drive and software version. Also important messages are shown here and there are the buttons for shutting down and restarting the drive.

File manager

The file manager shows the folder structure of the drive and set automatic backups. The backup-tab allows one to set scheduled back ups of the B3 to either a local USB/e-SATA or a network drive. Ofcourse the restore tab works the other way around and can be used to restore the files if something goes wrong.

Users

On the next tab one can manage the users. There aren't really other settings here, but choosing whether or not the user can use the shell login.
