FAQ

• Q: What is the “Pause” function?
  A: When a backup is in progress, ACS uses a lot of CPU resources, which can degrade audio quality. Therefore, it is recommended to pause the backup while listening to music.
• Q: What happens if the device is accidentally turned off or shuts down during a backup?
  A: The data backed up to the NAS will be saved up to the point when the ACS was turned off. When you restart the backup, it will skip the data that has already been completed and resume backing up the remaining data.
  
  
• Q: Can the backup be canceled?
  A: To use storage space efficiently, data on the NAS is not backed up before starting the ACS backup. Therefore, once the ACS backup begins, the backup target folder on the NAS cannot be restored to its previous state.
  
  
• Q: If I delete files from ACS after backing them up and then back up again, will those files also be deleted from the NAS?
  A: No, they will not be deleted. During a backup, only data that is not already in the backup target will be added.
