Even the Cloud Needs Backup! Cloud Backup Center Helps You Protect Your Data
|
|
|---|
|
Last week, a major global cloud service provider experienced a large-scale outage that disrupted numerous critical online services. As this provider supplies essential tools and computing resources for roughly one third of global internet operations, the impact was widespread affecting everything from banking services and social media platforms to airline booking systems and e-commerce websites. The incident once again highlighted the importance of cloud backup and data protection.

With the growing risks of service interruptions caused by maintenance, system failures, or network issues, relying on a single cloud service is no longer sufficient to ensure data safety. |
|
ASUSTOR’s Cloud Backup Center provides a comprehensive multi-cloud backup solution, allowing users to centrally manage and back up multiple cloud accounts and data directly from their NAS, offering a higher level of data protection and control. |
|
|
|
|
Cloud Backup Center supports a wide range of major cloud services, including Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, Microsoft Azure Blob Storage, Alibaba Cloud, Baidu Cloud, IBM Cloud, Rackspace Cloud Files, Google Cloud Storage, Box, Hicloud S3, and Lyve Cloud.
By combining multiple public cloud drives with personal storage, you’ll be able to easily configure instant or scheduled backups, manage multiple tasks and accounts simultaneously, and ensure that every important file is safely and completely protected.

At ASUSTOR, our commitment to data security is first and foremost. To keep your data safe, we continuously update all aspects of our software. Updates prioritize information and data security first. This notice announces the end of partial feature support for affected NAS devices starting from ADM 5.0 due to the termination of vendor driver and/or software support.
- Certain video formats will no longer be supported
Updated libraries in ADM are not compatible with the ffmpeg patches provided by Realtek. This affects NAS ASUSTOR NAS devices running Realtek CPUs. Which means hardware-accelerated transcoding will no longer be supported after upgrading to ADM 5.0. Only video formats natively supported by the browser will remain playable, while transcoding commonly used formats may not play properly.
- USB IP printer support will be discontinued
Regrettably, components of the USB drivers in the following NAS models are incompatible with ADM 5.0. This means USB IP printer functionality, that is, connecting to a USB printer plugged into an ASUSTOR NAS through ASUSTOR Control Center, will no longer be supported in ADM 5.0. Only network printer functionality will be available.
Affected devices: Drivestor (AS1102T, AS1104T), Drivestor Pro (AS3302T, AS3304T)
