Access requires the Internet Explorer browser.
Click Connect to connect to your WD Sentinel server or to a computer on your
network.

Shared Folders
Access shared folders on the WD Sentinel server. The folders may include Documents,
Pictures, Music, Video, Recorded TV, and any additional shared folders the Administrator
may create using the Dashboard
. A user with "Read & Write" access to a particular shared
folder is able to modify the contents of the existing files, upload new files, or delete files from
the folder.
Note: Only the folders for which the user has permissions are displayed under
Shared Folders on Remote Web Access.
Media Library
Browse through your pictures, music, videos, and recorded videos. The WD Sentinel server
automatically discovers the media files and adds them to your media library. The built-in
media capabilities allow you to view your pictures in a slideshow, steam digital music, or
stream videos over the web.
Backing up (Windows PC)
The WD Sentinel server backup is based upon block level de-duplication, a process that
backs up data without unnecessarily backing up the same data more than once. This
powerful process uses less network traffic for execution, provides a full back-up at each
backup time (although it behaves as if it is incremental), and by executing de-duplication
across all client computers, the storage capacity requirements are significantly reduced.
Backup becomes an automatic process for a computer once you install Connector software
on it. With Connector software installed, all volumes and all NTFS data on that computer are
backed up.
Note: For information on backing up your Mac using Time Machine, See “Backing up with
Time Machine (Mac)” on page 45.
