Mac saving to QNap - Permission issue

[chekmate1984]

Hi all

 

We have imac suite and each mac is linked to our QNAP drive where students save their logic files there.

 

Issue we are having is students are deleting files and folders now and its impacting teachers when they locate to mark the files

 

I have 1 queries

 

1) Can we restrict so they cant delete? its not linked to AD so not sure if this is possible?

2) Can we backup the Qnap to Redstor? So should students do delete its recoverable

 

I do need to look at longer term solution for this setup as we move to cloud i do want to move away from NAS drive storage but my assumption is this was created so staff can access students work

1) If pupils need to overwrite files (work on logicfile01 on Monday, work on it again on Thursday), no.

2) Haven't tried, but check to see what add-ons ( Hybrid Backup Sync or similar, for example) are available in the QNAP Appcenter. Also, ask Redstor to see what the requirements are.

 

As an interim measure turn on the QNAP's Network Recycle Bin and set a reasonable retention time (Control Panel > Network Services > Network Recycle Bin).
