ADM 2.6

Note:

Since the file structure in the ADM 2.6 has been modified, you will not be able to roll back to a previous version of ADM after upgrading.
If your NAS is using ADM 2.4.0 or prior versions, please upgrade to 2.4.2 first, before upgrading to 2.6.
*ADM 2.4.2 Download Link: here
After upgrading to ADM 3.2, some apps may be disabled because of compatibility issues. In order to ensure proper compatibility, please update all apps to the latest version at App Central. Please verify that they are updated and enabled in order to continue using your apps. For those using DataSync for hubiC, please bear in mind that this app has not been released and is still in beta. To download DataSync for hubiC, please download it from the Beta Apps section of App Central.

C Library and Linux kernel updates

ADM 2.6’s built-in GNU C library has been upgraded from eglibc 2.13 to glibc 2.22. From now on, no matter if it's ASUSTOR’s in-house developed functions or 3rd party developed Apps, all will be able to benefit from the new library’s high compatibility and flexibility. Also, in an effort to increase the stability, performance and security of the Linux system in ASUSTOR NAS devices, ADM 2.6 upgrades the Linux kernel for AS50/51/70 devices to the latest 4.1 long-term support version found on AS31/61/62 series devices.

Constantly evolving MyArchive technology

N-1 degrees of freedom

The number of simultaneous configurable MyArchive hard drives has been significantly increased to N-1. This means that for 4-bay models (e.g., AS6704T) you can have 3 simultaneously mounted MyArchive drives and for 10-bay models (e.g., AS7110T) you can have up to 9 simultaneously mounted MyArchive drives. When you access the data in a MyArchive drive, the other MyArchive drives can remain in hibernation, helping you save power. When used with local backup function, you will be able to take different types of files with different properties and neatly organize and back them up to individual MyArchive drives, all in one go.

Furthermore, a newly added “Alias” field lets users self-define tags for MyArchive drives. This allows users to quickly determine the contents of MyArchive drives from within ADM File Explorer when multiple drives are mounted simultaneously.

Supports even more file system formats

The newly upgraded MyArchive mechanism can format hard drives to EXT4, exFAT*, NTFS, HFS+, Btrfs file systems, significantly expanding MyArchive drives’ flexibility and availability. Furthermore, when no longer needed for MyArchive use, removed MyArchive drives can be put into eSATA/USB external enclosures and be directly accessible via Windows PC (NTFS file system) or Apple Mac devices (HFS+ file system), in addition to installing them on other ASUSTOR NAS devices for use.

* The exFAT license is required if using ADM 3.5 and previous version.

Safe and secure data encryption

MyArchive hard drives now feature newly supported AES 256bit encryption* and can be configured to automatically mount on up to 20 trusted NAS devices for more agile use. Decryption method, In addition to entering a password or importing an electronic encryption key for decryption you can also now bind a USB device as a physical encryption key**, allowing you to securely hold your data security in the palm of your hand.

*The MyArchive encryption function only supports the EXT4 and Btrfs file systems.
**A single USB device can be bound to an unlimited number of MyArchive drives

Batch creation and importation of ADM accounts

When setting up a shared server, system administrators often have to spend a lot of time creating user accounts. ASUSTOR now provides a more convenient and efficient way to do this. Via ADM’s batch creation function, you can quickly create multiple regular sequential user accounts (e.g., student numbers). With regards to irregular non-sequential account creation, you can enter account data into a text file (*.txt, *.csv) and then import it into ADM to create accounts. During importation, the system will also check for the integrity of account data and indicate any errors making them convenient for system administrators to correct.

Scheduled iSCSI LUN snapshots

Configuring scheduled iSCSI LUN snapshots allows the system to automatically take regular snapshots based on the specified time period, providing continuous protection of LUN data without needing any manual operation or significantly affecting system performance.

ASUSTOR Portal

Smoother Photo Browsing with Optimized Thumbnails

Use your mobile device and/or computer browser with hardware acceleration to accelerate the performance of creating thumbnails. ADM and the Ai series of apps are able to take advantage of your device’s processing power to speed up thumbnail generation to make browsing photos on an ASUSTOR NAS and mobile apps a smoother experience.

Supported mobile operating systems: Android, iOS
Supported web browsers: Chrome, Safari, Edge

WireGuard VPN Server

WireGuard VPN server is now supported in ADM 4.3. WireGuard is a newer, more secure, and more efficient VPN protocol. WireGuard is found in VPN Server in App Central. Numerous VPN services use WireGuard for their services to keep speeds and security high while minimizing latency loss and now these features are available for you to build your own VPN on your ASUSTOR NAS.

Expanding your social media experience

After installing URL-Pack-Social to ASUSTOR Portal, you will be able to select any social media platform to chat, send messages, share videos, share files, blog, and create newsgroups with your friends and family online. ASUSTOR Portal helps you stay in touch and connected with all those you care about.
