[HELP] Properly backing up a QNAP TS-639
Is it not possible to Rsync from a Qnap NAS to windows server? Isn't it just a matter of setting up shares correctly? -

[HELP] Properly backing up a QNAP TS-639
I backup my 509 to another 509 using the Replicator feature (Rsync) and it does do incremental. -

How to backup ts-509p
If you are considering backing up your data to a friends house you may want to consider this: http://www4.crashplan.com/consumer/index.html I've used it in the past and it has some nice features, including the ability to filter files you want to backup using regular expressions. If your friend... -

How to backup ts-509p
I'm doing the exact same thing. Except, in a moment of clarity while having coffee one morning, I realized that I didn't really need either of the 509's running RAID 5. Since I am backing-up the main NAS every night to my "mirror" NAS, I didn't need the redundancy that RAID 5 offers. Also, since... -

Pulling ahead of the RAID 5 Pack: QNAP TS-509 Pro Reviewed
The 509 Pro does have online expansion. I have not tried this feature out yet, but from what others over on the QNAP forum have said, it takes forever and a day to bring the new drive(s) online. Like a week or so to add a 1TB drive to a 3 TB array. Yikes. I will likely be adding a couple of 2... -

QNAP TS509 benchmarks
Thanks Dennis, I'm not too concerned with my results as I'm just using my NAS as a media center file server so throughput isn't that much of a concern. I was just curious to see how my results compared to others. It looks like having a fast RAID system on the host machine makes a big difference. -

QNAP TS509 benchmarks
Dennis, what do you think is causing the discrepancy between the benchmark scores and what you are seeing in real file copy operations? -Dave -

QNAP TS509 benchmarks
Dennis, thanks for the posting your numbers. It looks like they did away with a number of the tests in the latest version. I guess there was too much redundancy b/w the backup/restore and the file copy tests. I'm not worrying too much about the numbers as I am using the NAS solely as a media... -

QNAP TS509 benchmarks
I benchmarked my TS509 Pro using the Intel NAS Performance Toolkit. My Setup NAS: TS509 Pro, 3 WD Green 1TB in Raid 5, 2.0.3 Build 1016T firmware. Computer: Intel DX48BT2 mobo with 4GB, XP Pro SP3, WD Raptor 150GB Network: CAT6, Netgear GS724T ProSafe Gigabit Switch I have to say I'm a little... -

QNAP TS509 Beta Code = New Features
Dennis, have you tried benchmarking with the Intel NAS Performance Toolkit? It would be interesting to see how various switch/network setups benchmark using a standardized test. I'm going to try this this weekend. However, the last time I flashed a new firmware on my 509 I lost the array.... -

Upgrading server
SBS 2008 will out in the next couple of months. Is there a reason you are moving to 2003? If you are in dire need of new server *now*, be sure and get 2003 with software assurance so you can upgrade to 2008 at a future date for free. Also, make sure your hardware is 64-bit as 2008 won't run on...- SirBC

TS509, Link Aggregation, 3COM 2916 = good
Good news. I just finished formatting the drives and error checking on both devices. Time for some firmware goodness :) -

TS509, Link Aggregation, 3COM 2916 = good
I'm glad to hear the remote replication is working as well as it is. That will be the main function of my two Qnap's. Since I haven't received mine yet I am not familiar with the options for the replication feature, but I am guessing you can't use regular expressions. I need to backup a folder... -

Good stuff, thanks! I went ahead and ordered two, can't wait to try them out. - Dave -

TS509, Link Aggregation, 3COM 2916 = good
Dennis, thanks for the info. I’m glad to hear it worked as well as it did. I assume you are using the built-in Remote Replication feature and not running Rsync on its own? Did you notice a difference in transfer speed when SSH was enabled? Any problems with the WD Green drives (I am looking at...
