But what if you (and you will) want your NAS to give you more? Multi-user environment, web hosting, intense backup, data encryption, application serving, heavy RAID computations, and HD multimedia streaming: smooth multi-tasking.

Two of these functions are Data Burn and Data Guard. With Data Burn, the users have the possibility to backup their data by burning them onto a CD, DVD or Blu-ray disk. By plugging a disk burner to their NAS thru the available USB ports and managing the burning process.
Also included in the ThecusOS 5.0 is the total backup solution, Data Guard. The software provides both local and remote backup. It uses technology to sync data across the network to other NAS and servers. Data Guard is the total backup solution which makes managing NAS user-friendly and convenient.
Additionally, users will also be able to take advantage of the cloud for their backup solution with support of the Amazon S3 cloud back-up services.
Multimedia playback and direct NAS access with HDMI
