19. On the following page, you can select how much space to allocate to shared folders and to
backup (Figure 2-18). To change the allocation, enter the desired amount of space to use for
shared folders. The remaining amount will be used for backups. Click “Finish” when ready
to proceed, then click “OK” when the confirmation page appears.
Note: Once the wizard is completed, reducing the disk allocation for shared
folders in the future will result in the deletion of all data on the freeStor 4020. If
you plan to back up computers to the unit, it is recommended that you use the
minimum amount of space for shared folders, back up all the computers that you
plan to protect, and then expand the space allocated for shared folders. This
ensures that adequate space is available for backups.
