    Backup Strategy - please critique

    OK ... some follow-ups. You state above: At home, dump your images to a 2-bay (or 4 or whatever) NAS. Have the NAS set to back-up these images to an external USB3 drive/enclosure on a pretty frequent basis, like hourly. Or do it manually after you make a dump. Verify that the images are on...

    Backup Strategy - please critique

    Thanks! No, I am not a professional photographer and do not rely on this activity to support me in life. For me, I'm purely an avid weekend hobbyist that shoots a lot -- every weekend! Maybe someday I will go professional -- but not anytime soon. That being said, how would your strategy...

    Backup Strategy - please critique

    Thanks stevech. But, when you say "Backup the NAS to USB3" -- what is USB3? I assume your are not talking about the port on the side of my MacBook Pro -- right?

    Backup Strategy - please critique

    Greetings! Serious photography enthusiast here whose current storage solution is fading away with all the digital images I have been (and will be) creating. As such, I am adding more storage, while at the same time, implementing a new backup strategy. My current setup is very simple. One...

    Which Synology product? Suggestions please ...

    Will 5.8 GHz cordless phone interfere with Wirless-N?

    Hi. Knowing that the Wireless-N is transmitted on the 5 GHz frequency, might there be any interference with my cordless phone that is operating on the 5.8 GHz freq?

    Which option would stream to Apple TV faster?

    Thanks! My ultimate question is whether or not I should move my AirPort Extreme router closer to my home theater (as well as move my Internet entry access point to my home) so I can hardwire my Apple TV and PS3. Or, leave is where it is -- kind of far away and on a different floor.

    Which option would stream to Apple TV faster?

    No NAS in particular -- but I am looking at a Drobo. Just 'in general.'

    Which option would stream to Apple TV faster?

    Which HD streaming option would be faster? 1) HD Movie rented via Netflix/iTunes played wirelessly through Apple TV? 2) HD Movie rented via Netflix/iTunes played hardwired through Apple TV? 3) HD Movie stored on local NAS drive played wirelessly through Apple TV? Assume Wireless N and...

    Can router location/placement cause Home Theater interference?

    Ah. Thanks! But, do you know if these devices are 'smart' enough to disable their internal wi-fi receivers when a Ethernet signal is detected? Or, might you have to physically configure them to turn off wi-fi?

    Can router location/placement cause Home Theater interference?

    Thanks Tim. What is considered 'Wi-Fi gear?' Would my PS3 and Apple TV be considered Wi-Fi gear?

    Can router location/placement cause Home Theater interference?

    Right now, due to the Internet access point in my home, my AirPort Extreme (upstairs in one corner) is about as far away from my home theater as it can get (downstairs in the other corner). Since my HT is where my Apple TV and PS3 are -- as well as where my wife and I do most of our wireless...
