Windows Vista 
Because Windows Vista has the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator pre-installed, you will not 
have to install this piece of software. Instead, start the iSCSI Initiator and follow 
steps 8-14 to map the 1U4500 as an iSCSI drive. 
 
File Backup 
There are a number of ways to back up data with the 1U4500.  
Nsync 
You can backup a share folder to another 1U4500 (Nsync Target) or any FTP 
server for safe keeping as long as you have appropriate access right on that 
target. When using Nsync between two 1U4500s, you have the option to transmit 
files securely between two 1U4500s.  
 
If the files on your 1U4500 are lost for any reason, you can restore those files 
from the target 1U4500. To backup files regularly, you can set up a scheduled 
task to run only once, daily, weekly, or monthly. You can also limit the bandwidth 
of your Nsync tasks, so other users on the network can share the bandwidth 
equally. 
 
Under the Storage menu, click Nsync and the Nsync window appears. Below is
