I've created rsync scripts in the 'admin' users home directory which will backup <kbd>eqt</kbd> and <kbd>greg-laptop</kbd>  nb: greg-laptop is ONLY the ''home'' directory, not the full disk.
 
 
 
There is also a Duplicity script in /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/homes/greg/backups/backup_home_to_qnap_san.sh but that's '''not tested/operational'''
 
 
 
== Operating System ==
 
The QNAP uses an operating system called QTS (based on Linux and GPL)
 
[http://files.qnap.com/news/pressresource/datasheet/QTS4.2.1(EN)_51000-023880-RS_0204.pdf QTS 4.2.1]
 
 
 
== Administration ==
 
Under the covers, the QNAP is a Linux box, so if you want to reset someones password, you can just use the <code>passwd</code> command as usual.
 
 
 
== NAS Report ==
 
Here is a script which generates a script, and then runs it.  Not sure why it's not just a plain script, but hey it's a neat trick.  If you want to just use the script it generates, see /tmp/nasreport after invoking this.
 
<code>cat ./nas_report.sh </code>
 
<source lang="bash">
 
#!/bin/sh
 
rm -f /tmp/nasreport
 
touch /tmp/nasreport
 
chmod +x /tmp/nasreport

== Utilities ==
 
The NAS is not a full linux box.  It only comes with a limited subset of commands, and some of those are provided by [https://busybox.net BusyBox].  To see the output below, just run the <code>busybox</code> command.
 
<pre>
 
BusyBox v1.01 (2016.05.31-18:24+0000) multi-call binary
 
 
 
Usage: busybox [function] [arguments]...
 
  or: [function] [arguments]...
 
 
 
        BusyBox is a multi-call binary that combines many common Unix
 
        utilities into a single executable.  Most people will create a
 
        link to busybox for each function they wish to use and BusyBox
 
        will act like whatever it was invoked as!
 
 
 
Currently defined functions:
 
        [, addgroup, adduser, ash, awk, basename, bunzip2, busybox, bzcat, cat, chgrp, chmod, chown, chroot, chvt, clear, cmp, cp, crond, crontab, cut, date, dc, dd, deallocvt, delgroup, deluser, df, dirname, dmesg, dos2unix, du, echo, egrep, env, expr, false, fdisk, fgrep, find, free, getty, grep, gunzip, gzip, halt, head, hexdump, hostname, hwclock, id, ifconfig, init, insmod, install, ip, kill, killall, klogd, linuxrc, ln, logger, login, ls, lsmod, md5sum, mkdir, mknod, mktemp, modprobe, more, mount, mv, nameif, netstat, nslookup, openvt, passwd, pidof, ping, ping6, pivot_root, poweroff, ps, pwd, rdate, readlink, reboot, renice, reset, rm, rmdir, rmmod, route, sed, sh, sha1sum, sleep, sort, strings, swapoff, swapon, switch_root, sync, sysctl, syslogd, tail, tar, tee, telnet, test, tftp, time, top, touch, tr, traceroute, true, tty, umount, uname, uniq, unix2dos, unzip, uptime, usleep, vi, wc, wget, which, whoami, xargs, yes, zcat
 
</pre>
 
 
 
There are also a number of commands which are NOT provided by busybox.
 
* <code>ls -al /mnt/HDA_ROOT/usr/bin |grep -v busybox</code>
 
* <code>ls -al /mnt/HDA_ROOT/usr/sbin </code>

The QNAP NAS TS-231 forms the basis of our local network shares and backup

2x 2TB Western Digital "Red" drives in RAID 1 configuration = 1.8 TB storage

locally on the network, it uses DHCP, with two ethernet nics (dual-homed) Access it at 192.168.1.4 or 192.168.1.5 or more generally at cloud.equality-tech.com
