Port requirements based on operating environment

For FilingBox GIGA server to function properly, ports 443 (HTTPS) and 445 (SMB) must be available.

Depending on your network environment, additional firewall configurations may be required, so adjust accordingly while considering security policies.

Data backup and recovery

FilingBox GIGA does not include standalone backup and recovery features, except for granting the administrator account access to the backup drive.

To ensure data protection, you should establish a backup and recovery policy, such as copying user files to a separate storage location. For more details, refer to Changing Administrator Account Backup Drive Access Permissions.
