    Router+NAS for Optware

    So an even better solution would be 2 x QNAP TS-219P Turbo NAS with 1 x 2TB Western Digital WD20EARS Caviar Green disk in each (http://qnap.expertsinstorage.com/enclosures.html?cat=229) to run in 2 locations (e.g. home & work) backing up to each other via rsync over the Internet. The 2nd...

    Router+NAS for Optware

    Router+NAS for Optware

    Can anyone recommend a Router+NAS? - I'm looking for a combined router+NAS, so there's just one box that's left on 24/7. - I backup virtual hard-drives to the NAS via rsync, so probably need the ability to run Optware. These are typically 32GB files, so need Gigabit network and good...
