    Tell me how to spend my money!

    That might have been me. Some have said it is possible by treating the NAS as a remote NAS and then just "updating it to itself". I understand concern about the connect/disconnect cycles. You are thinking just about backplane/drive connection cycles, right? Say I move it off site once per...

    Tell me how to spend my money!

    Thanks for your reply. Well, I would likely be doing it via rsync and not all 1TB is going to change every night. Right now my RSYNC (w/o checksum) takes about 45 mins. I run a weekly rsync w/ checksum and it takes about 12 hours.. That is fine though. The versioning would be done via...

    Need Suggestion thinking about QNAP 639 or 809?

    Hello, I need suggestions on which NAS to purchase. I used to have a NV+, but wasn't happy with its backup/USB copy performance and inability to get into the device to perform my own copies (via rsync, etc). So I sold it and now use a linux based server with RAID-5 and about 1.4TB of...
