Looking to backup the computers on my network to a USB hard drive connected to my ASUS RT-AC56U router. The computers are running linux (Ubuntu MATE 16.04) and I will be using deja dup and/or Back in Time for the software on the computers.
My question is simply this: What protocol would be the best to use, ftp, ssh, smb (Samba), NFS, or something else? My priority would be ease of use and reliability, but speed is also a consideration. I was thinking NFS, but on the WIKI it says it is still "a bit unstable". Is this still true? Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated!
