Maxtor Maxtor Central Axis User manual

Automatic data backup, secure web access and sharing,
and convenient media access and streaming for your home network
1-TB Single drive
Digital videos of your children taking their first steps. The music library you’ve built. The
15 years of personal financial data you’ve compiled. They’re highly valuable — if not
irreplaceable — but when stored on your home computers they’re also vulnerable to system
failures and viruses, loss and theft.
Central Axis storage server delivers a smart, simple way to back up the valuable digital
content on all the computers in your home network automatically. Backups happen
automatically — a welcome change from the tedious chore of copying your content to
discs and thumb drives.
You can access and share your content securely via any web browser, too, so it’s a doddle
to grab a file from any computer in your home or on the road, and you can share content
easily with friends and family everywhere. And for a rich home entertainment experience,
you can create a centralised library of household photos, videos and music that offers
anytime access and streaming to your networked TVs, digital music players and computers.
