    How to backup a router attached drive (not to it)

    Hi everyone. Quick question. What's the best way to automatically backup a USB (or eSATA) hard drive attached to my router (Linksys WRT1900AC)? Note I don't want to backup "to" the drive; I want to backup what is stored on this drive if it is my primary music and photo storage location...

    NAS advice for my situation. My old/new NAS vs router attached.

    Hi all. So I did go through the article from a couple years ago. I'm looking for some advice about what type of network storage would be best for my current situation. Since the last time I set up a NAS I've had two kids, and, frankly, I have not been keeping up with the tech and am wondering...

    Home NAS w/ FTP, Quiet, flexible auto-backup

    This site has been invaluable so far, thanks everyone. I have a super simple question to add, and I feel foolish asking, but having never used one of these devices I just don't know how it works. Anyone who has used a NAS might even be able to answer in one word. Here's the question...

    Home NAS w/ FTP, Quiet, flexible auto-backup

    Isn't the USB on the 323 print server only? Or have they released a firmware yet that upgraded it? That could be a notable difference. But if the DNS-323 is an option, that's getting close to the price point of the DS209j (which isn't reviewed here, I don't believe). Anyone have...

    Home NAS w/ FTP, Quiet, flexible auto-backup

    Again, different people different needs. Osamede's suggestion might make sense for workstations, or if I was the primary user of every computer being considered here, but the home environment is different. Users of various tech-savy levels have different machines they want to drag with them to...

    Home NAS w/ FTP, Quiet, flexible auto-backup

    Thank you for the advice. I cannot believe the amount of work you must put in to respond to so many of the posts here. I tried to just state what I was looking for, without a whole dissertation as to why, but I realize that will always lead to questions. As for backups, my critical files...

    Home NAS w/ FTP, Quiet, flexible auto-backup

    A day later I've decided to add more specific questions about the devices I mentioned, if anyone is kind enough to have an answer to even part of a question that'd be great. D-Link DNS-321: I mentioned I'd like to backup folders from one NAS volume to the other NAS volume, without RAID, in...

    Home NAS w/ FTP, Quiet, flexible auto-backup

    I've read the articles here, and many of the reviews many times, and checked out the charts, but there are still some specific issues I'm stuck on before making my purchase so I'm hoping for advice from current users. My network consists of a desktop and a few laptops/netbooks, plus a couple...
