Using Advanced Network Features
The Iomega StorCenter Network Hard Drive has several advanced features that require special configuration.
• Media Server—Play media files on your TV. The StorCenter drive can be configured to share media files, such as
movies, music, and photos, with a digital media adapter that connects to your TV.
• USB Print Server—Automatically share two USB printers with other computers on your network.
For more information on configuring these advanced features, see the HTML user's manual on the Solutions CD.
Iomega recommends periodic system backups and more frequent data backups to ensure that your critical data is always
protected. The frequency of your backups should depend on the importance of your data. To protect your data, you can
simply drag and drop copies of your critical files onto the drive, or you can use the included software to schedule regular
backups.
Set your backup strategy based on information that is most valuable and important to you. If you are using the drive for
primary data storage of critical files, it is recommended that you back up the drive to another device.
For complete setup instructions and more information on backup strategies, install the software and select Help.
