ReadyNAS Vault : great but overpriced!
Hi! Just saw the ReadyNAS Vault announcement : great news! Something I definitely need to really secure my data as my PC backups are, indeed, copied on my ReadyNAS Duo but still in the same locatio...
Gearhound,
I love the idea of the readynas vault. Currently I have a second hard drive on my PC which I use for video editing, but I keep all my files on my NAS which is mirrored. I copy those critical files back to my second HD on my PC and use carbonite to back that data up. Its not the most efficient, but its very cost effective.
Carbonite has indicated on their site they are working on a model (waiting to see the cost) to allow NAS devices to be backed up. Of course it will most likely be through a UNC path, and I'm hoping they will keep their similar price plan.
I'm hoping the folks here at netgear will consider a more realistic pricing plan. If you look at the amount of data the NAS is designed for their pricing plan is not appropriate for the data storage they provide on a NAS device to be affordable.
If it was I would sign up and dump carbonite.
