- Time Machine function limitation: If your Mac OS is 10.6 version and the size of total backup files is over 30GBytes, the backup might be failed.
Workaround: Please exclude the big file (video, music…etc) from the Time Machine backup list. Normally the system, application, user files won’t over 30GB limit.
- Sometimes clicking “Safely remove USB device” button can't remove USB storage safely.
Workaround: Make sure you are not accessing the attached USB device and the LED on USB device is not blinking (it means no one is accessing it). Then you need to remove the USB device directly and ignore the message about “remove USB device failure) from web GUI.
- Traffic meter – Traffic volume control is not accurate due to sampling rate. It may exceed the limit.
Workaround: Set a proper number in “Mbytes before the monthly limit is reached” in the traffic control.
