Q: Do I need to shut down the ASUSTOR NAS?

2023-09-01


#NAS #FAQ

ASUSTOR NAS can run continuously for a long time and has good durability and stability. However, in order to protect the NAS hardware and data, it is recommended to perform shutdown and reboot operations periodically.
Shutdown operation can help clear the cache, memory and other resources of the NAS system and applications to avoid unstable or malfunctioning applications. At the same time, shutting down the system also ensures that the NAS hardware is rested and reduces the chance of hardware failure.
It is recommended to perform a shutdown at least once a month, especially when upgrading software, replacing hardware, or performing regular maintenance. Before shutting down, you should make sure that the data stored on the NAS has been backed up to avoid data loss during the shutdown. Before shutdown, you can use the backup tool provided in the ASUSTOR control panel to perform the backup operation to ensure data security.
After shutdown, it is recommended to wait for some time before rebooting the NAS to allow the hardware to rest and cool down. It is also recommended to ensure that the NAS hardware is in a dry, ventilated and secure environment to protect the security and durability of the hardware.
