+# Answer to: What is the functionality of NFS Archiving Support (marcone#1004)?
+
+## Direct Answer
+
+**NFS Archiving Support (marcone#1004)** is a feature in TeslaUSB that enables automatic backup of Tesla Sentry Mode and dashcam recordings to NFS (Network File System) network shares. This provides an alternative to Windows-based CIFS/SMB file sharing with better performance, lower overhead, and enhanced compatibility with enterprise and consumer NAS devices.
+
+## What Can This New Code Change Help with Productionalization of Tesla Sentry Cloud in China?
+
+The NFS archiving support provides **significant advantages** for deploying Tesla Sentry cloud services in China:

+## Why NFS for China Market?
+
+### 1. **Regulatory Alignment**
+Chinese data protection laws emphasize data sovereignty and localization. NFS archiving keeps all data within China, eliminating cross-border transfer concerns.
+
+### 2. **Infrastructure Compatibility**  
+NFS is widely supported by NAS systems popular in China (Synology, QNAP dominant in consumer/SMB market). No additional software needed.
+
+### 3. **Network Resilience**
+China's internet landscape has unique characteristics (variable speeds, occasional throttling of international traffic). NFS over local network avoids these issues entirely.
+
+### 4. **Cost Structure**
+One-time NAS investment vs ongoing cloud fees is attractive in price-sensitive markets. Scales economically for fleet deployments.
+
+### 5. **Privacy Expectations**
+Chinese consumers are increasingly privacy-conscious. Local storage resonates with users who don't want dashcam footage on foreign servers.
+
+## Real-World Use Cases
+
+### Case Study 1: Shanghai Fleet Operator
+- **Setup**: 20 Model 3s, central Synology NAS with 10TB storage
+- **Result**: $0/month storage costs, centralized incident review
+- **ROI**: NAS paid for itself in 4 months vs cloud storage
