Abstract
A network attached storage device may include at least one storage device, a network connection coupling the at least one storage device to a network and a processor coupled to the at least one storage device and to the network connection. The processor may be configured to monitor a plurality of operating parameters of the network attached storage; determine a state of a network attached storage based on at least two of the monitored plurality of operating parameters of the network attached storage; determine a current level of protection from among a predetermined plurality of levels of protection based on the determined state of the network attached storage, and provide an indication of the determined level of protection afforded by the network attached storage.
