Features and Functionality – Part 1
Extensive Backup Options
Multiple backup tools (AOMEI Backupper, Time Machine, Duple Backup, Centralized Backup, USB Copy, and Cloud Sync) are included, allowing backup from PC to TNAS, server to TNAS, virtual machine to TNAS, TNAS to TNAS, TNAS to cloud storage, cloud storage to TNAS, USB device to TNAS, and TNAS to USB device, addressing almost all possible data backup requirements. In addition, multiple version backups, incremental backups, scheduled backups, and a one-button restore are also supported.
The backup options are so many that we couldn’t test all of them. Every user can find something that meets the needs.
Easy Creation of Private Clouds
Using TNAS.online, DDNS, VPN, NextCloud, and OwnCloud, building a private cloud is easy, and TNAS allows access from anywhere at any time. A self-built private cloud can effectively improve data management efficiency, reduce IT input costs, and enhance the privacy of sensitive data.
Supports Synchronisation of Multiple Cloud Drives
The device supports data synchronization with a variety of popular cloud drives, including Google Drive, Amazon S3, Dropbox, OneDrive, pCloud, Yandex Disk, Alibaba Cloud OSS, Box, ElephantDrive, Koofr, MegaDisk, Nextcloud, and OpenDrive. The user simply selects the appropriate synchronization directory and policy.
4K HD Video Transcoding
DLNA protocol compatibility, along with the TerraMaster’s exclusive Multimedia Server supported by a powerful processor, allows the TNAS to offer real-time hardware 4K (Max size: 4K H.264/H.265 8-bit 30fps)transcoding streaming to multimedia players that do not support HD format, such as PCs, smart TVs, STB, and games consoles.
Multiple Download Tools
Various download tools used around the world are supported, including Aria2, qBittorrent, and Transmission, facilitating easy management of file transmission and rapid and convenient movie downloading.
Multi-functional Integrated Mobile APP
TNAS mobile, the mobile application developed by TerraMaster for TNAS users, allows access to all the functions of the TNAS, including file browsing, favourite, photo, music, video, album backup, upload/download task management, multimedia playback, remote wakening, and TNAS remote settings.
This is as simple as it sounds. TerraMaster gives us a mobile application so we can manage our NAS remotely.
Hundreds of Popular Free APPs
The TerraMaster application centre provides hundreds of free applications across a wide range of categories such as backup tools, security apps, commerce, utilities, multimedia, and development tools. These include WordPress, MyWebSQL, Apache, Mail Server, CRM, Web Server, phpMyAdmin, MariaDB, Antivirus, Git, Go, Java, MyBB, Python, and SVN.
There are hundreds of applications that change a simple-looking NAS into an advanced server. I’m not sure how many services can run at once so the processor and RAM could handle it, but I assume that anything for home or small office needs can be configured without issues. There are more robust units from TerraMaster if we wish to set something for a larger group of users, and new products are appearing on the market quite often. Hence, I recommend checking the TerraMaster offer.
Standard APP Development Environment
TerraMaster provides developers with a standardised application development environment, and an application packaging tool with an extensive user guide. Any developer can develop their own applications to run on the TOS system, and these can be shared with other users or uploaded to the TerraMaster application centre as desired.
