If I had to start my storage setup again from zero, here’s what I’d do differently. 👇

Instead of adding another external drive every time I run out of space or upgrading my cloud plan month after month, I’d start with storage I can expand as I need it.

With a NAS, your files live in one central place that you can access remotely and share across multiple users and devices. And backups? Set a schedule and let your NAS handle them automatically.

No carrying drives around. No files scattered across five different places. No required monthly storage fees.

And if you’re a student or educator, you can save 15% on select QNAP NAS models through our education program. 🎓

“What’s the default admin password?” “HELP, I’m locked out of my QNAP NAS.” “How do I reset my QNAP NAS?”

We’ve seen it all. 😅 Whether it’s been months since your last login or your password just isn’t password-ing, getting locked out doesn’t mean you’re out of options.

This week’s walks you through a basic system reset, how to find your default admin password, and where to look for the Cloud Key or MAC address you’ll need to get back in.

📌 Once you’re back in, don’t forget to change the default admin password to a new, strong password.

Save this one. Future you might need it. 🔁

You can’t reshoot history. 📸

After decades behind the camera and 9 Olympic Games, Jeff Cable has built an archive of more than 4 million photos. Keeping that much work protected doesn’t require a complicated setup.

Jeff uses HBS 3 to automatically sync his primary QNAP NAS to a second NAS off-site every morning, keeping another copy of his entire archive in a separate physical location.

• 4+ million photos across two locations
• 100TB of storage at each site
• Automated remote sync every morning
• Backup, recovery, and sync with HBS 3

Your archive might not have 4 million photos, but the work you can’t recreate deserves a backup plan.

The 3-2-1 backup rule has been a standard for years. But with ransomware increasingly targeting backups themselves, today’s strategy needs another layer of protection.

That’s where the 3-2-1-1-0 Backup Rule comes in.

It builds on 3-2-1 with two additional safeguards: an offline or immutable copy and backup verification with zero errors.

Build Your Backup Strategy in 3 Steps

1. Back up your devices to your NAS
Centralize backups from your computers and other devices.

2. Send a backup copy off-site
Schedule backups to another NAS or cloud storage, with regular integrity checks.

3. Keep one backup offline or air-gapped
Isolate a backup copy from your network to help protect it from ransomware and other threats.

We’ve all had that moment: you know the file, photo, or recording exists. You just can’t remember what it was called or where you saved it.

That’s where the new Qsirch AI Mode comes in.

Instead of relying on exact filenames or keywords, you can search based on what you remember. Find a specific passage buried in a document, describe a photo you’re looking for, jump to a scene in a video, or locate something said in a recording. Qsirch can even summarize documents so you can get the key points without reading through the entire file.

Your data is already there. Now it’s a lot easier to put it to work.

TS-462A. TBS-h574TX. TS-h1655XeU-RP.

We promise we didn't just mash the keyboard. 😅

Our NAS model names may look like alphabet soup, but those letters and numbers can tell you a lot about the system, from drive bays and series to networking, form factor, operating system, and more.

Here’s how to crack the code. 🔎
