[Software Description] This software will update the TS5200DS TeraStation model’s firmware to version 3.63. If your unit’s firmware is already version 3.63 or later, you don’t need this update. [How to Verify the Firmware Version] Select your TeraStation from NAS Navigator2. The firmware version is displayed on the bottom right corner of the window. [Updating Firmware] • Do not turn off the TeraStation until the firmware update is completed and the “Finished” message appears. • USB drives may not be mounted automatically after updating the firmware. To mount them, unplug and then reconnect them. • Disconnect iSCSI volumes using the iSCSI initiator before updating the firmware. [Notes] • If backup runs for backing up many files as 600 GB or more, the I54 message may be displayed. In such a case, run a backup job again. It is recommended to configure a backup job in Settings, navigate to ‘Backup’ > ‘Backup’ > ‘Create New Job’ as below. The following options will allow backup automatically: Schedule: Instead of “Immediately”, select one of the scheduled backup options, such as “Everyday” or “Every week”. Operation mode: Use “Overwrite Backup (Append Backup)”, “Overwrite (Differential Backup)”, or “Management Backup”. Options: Select the “Ignore backup errors and continue backup job on schedule” checkbox. Make sure that the “Overwrite unchanged files” checkbox is cleared. • Make sure the TeraStation’s Ethernet frame size is set to a value smaller than that of the hub or router. Larger frame sizes may not allow data to be transferred to the TeraStation properly. • If Dropbox Sync has been configured using a shared folder that contains capitalized characters in its folder name, an invalid cache folder may be created. Change the folder name to use only lower-case characters. • Updating firmware from version 2.54 or earlier to 3.61 will initialize the Amazon S3 settings when updating the firmware. Reconfigure the settings after the firmware update is finished. [How to Update the Firmware] 1. Extract the downloaded installer file. 2. Execute “update”, then refer to the on-screen instructions. [Release Notes] Version 3.63 [2022-03-07] Bug Fixes [SMB] • Modified to patch a vulnerability (CVE-2020-25717). [Name/Time/Language] • Fixed a bug where if the date is set to “2020/12/1” or later and the TeraStation is restarted, the configured date reverts to “2007/11/1”. Version 3.61 [2018-02-08] Added and Modified Features [Failover] • Modified email notification settings so that they can now be changed on the backup device in maintenance mode even when failover is configured and email notification is enabled on the backup device. Bug Fixes [SMB] • Modified to patch a vulnerability (CVE-2017-15275). [File Sharing] • Fixed a bug where files and folders copied to the TeraStation could not be deleted because they became read-only. [Web Services] • Fixed a bug where uploaded files using Dropbox Sync were unexpectedly duplicated. • Fixed a bug where the upload speed may become slow when cloud storage is configured. [Email Notification] • Fixed a bug where the contents of daily report emails did not display properly. [iSCSI] • Fixed a bug where a volume was not displayed if it is created with block I/O and WCE enabled. [Backup] • Fixed a bug where the TeraStation could not be detected when configuring backup on another TeraStation if too many users and/or groups were added for access restrictions. [Replication] • Fixed a bug where a replication error occurs when the USB drive is disconnected and then reconnected after a replication job was created. [Failover] • Fixed a bug where configuring failover failed. [NFS] • Fixed a bug where the shared folder selection window was not displayed properly when adding an NFS rule if multiple shared folders with NFS enabled were created. [Quota] • Fixed a bug where up to 2047 GB were allocated as the quota size. Version 3.53 [2017-10-31] Added and Modified Features [Failover] • Increased the security level. [Replication] • Added the field to enter a backup device access key. This access key is the same as the one used for backup jobs. • When configuring replication, the LAN port numbers (LAN 1 or LAN 2) of the source and target TeraStations are now shown. [Settings] • Increased the security level. [Boot Authentication] • Boot authentication is now added. This is a feature that allows the TeraStation to be authenticated by an authentication server as the TeraStation boots up. For mored detailed information, refer to the TeraStation user manual. Notes: ◦ To use boot authentication, a Windows PC is required to serve as the authentication server. The application “Boot Authentication Tool for TeraStation” needs to be installed on the PC. ◦ If the Boot Authentication Tool database is erased, the TeraStation using boot authentication will become inaccessible. Make sure to back up the database file. [Web Services] • Modified to sync with Dropbox, the online storage service offered by Dropbox Inc. • A message will be displayed when “Other Amazon S3 API compatible service” is selected. • Decreased the number of files that can be downloaded from the cloud server when using Amazon S3. • Decreased the number of files that can be downloaded from the WebAccess Remote target. • Amazon S3 has been changed to cloud storage. For customers using Amazon S3: The path to the Amazon S3 remote folder has changed from “\share\wbfs\amazons3” to “\amazons3” (an example using “share” folder for Amazon S3). A shared folder named “amazons3” will be created automatically. The shared folder settings will be applied to the current folder and backup and replication settings will be configured. The “\wbfs\amazons3” folder will be deleted after the firmware update. For more detailed information of the new cloud storage feature, refer to the TeraStation’s user manual. • The maximum number of files that can be copied to the remote folder at once has been expanded from 10,000 to 100,000. • Modified to display additional network errors. [WebAccess Remote] • The maximum number of files that can be copied to the remote folder at once has been expanded from 10,000 to 100,000. [SNMP] • Modified to support SNMPv3. • Modified so that more of the following settings can be acquired via the SNMP protocol: ◦ Model name ◦ Firmware version ◦ Serial number ◦ Checking whether newer firmware has been released ◦ Showing whether the function status is enabled or disabled Update the MIB file on your SNMP client software to the latest version. You can download the MIB file from the Buffalo website. • SNMP protocol now supports S.M.A.R.T. for each drive on the TeraStation. Update the MIB file on your SNMP client software to the latest version. You can download the MIB file from the Buffalo website. [OpenSSL] • Updated OpenSSL to the latest version. [Email Notification] • Modified so that the report categories and when the email will be sent are now configurable. The current settings will be taken over by the firmware update but we recommend verifying that the function works properly after the firmware update. • S.M.A.R.T. information is now available to be sent via the notification email. It can be configured from “Advanced Report Settings”. [Backup] • You can now specify how many normal backups to keep. • The folder for backup logs is now configurable. • When creating backup jobs, the LAN port numbers (LAN 1 or LAN 2) of the source and target TeraStations are now shown. • Error codes are now displayed if a backup job fails.
