Asustor recently released a new version of Asustor Data Master, the management software for all its nas products. For more information about ADM, please refer to this page. In this release, support has been added for making backups via the SMB protocol and various problems and security issues have been resolved. The complete changelog for this release looks like this:

Important Notes:

• ASUSTOR recommends to back up important data before updating ADM.
• Your NAS will restart to complete the update.
• After upgrading to ADM 4.2.1, it will no longer be possible to downgrade to a previous version.
• AS10, AS50, AS51 and AS70 series of NAS will no longer be receiving feature updates due to the recent termination of vendor support for drivers. ADM 4.0 will be the last major version for these models. Only security updates and critical bug fixes will be provided.
• After upgrading to ADM 4.2.1, please be sure to upgrade NAS apps from App Central to reduce compatibility issues.
