RAX120 - SMB for Backup - CloudReady - Windows backup failure
I have had this router for about a year. One of the things I really miss from my previous router is ability to use this as NAS for backup. I have two USB drives attached. One is shared as "backup" ...
Routers are not meant to be used as a backup solution, no matter the advertising. Use the proper tool for the task. Get or build a NAS for that
That is not constructive. I realize that a router's primary role should be that... routing. But if it is part of its supported stack, then don't do it 1/2 way.
If it is to be SMB share. Then IMAO: Support multiple accounts, ACL, and SMB that is stable.
if just http / FTP / NFS.. more Unix centric protocols.. then fine... If only "Cloud Ready" with object based target etc... fine... just do that.
But this current unstable both ways, is not usable.
