Replicate discontinued! What is the alternative for the RN104?
So Replicate will no longer work in 2018....
The proposed alternative, ReadyDR, seems great, but is not supported on the RN102/RN104's.
So my current setup where I 'replicate' from my RN104 to two RN102/RN104's will cease to work, with no alternative.
(two of those boxes are remote so regular backups are not possible).
Any suggestion on what to do?
RSYNC may be an option, but it is still not that easy to install the proper keys for this...
Your ideas are very much appreciated!

Yes

Yes if you follow the hint.
Also if you have ssh access enabled generally, then you should make sure you use a strong NAS admin password (since you don't want anyone to get root access to the NAS).

Rsync over SSH is an option.
Another is site to site VPN (though that is more complicated to setup than Rsync over SSH and depending what hardware you have may require additional hardware purchases).Thanks MDGM!
I have RSYNC over SSH working locally, but I'm a bit reluctant to use this over the public internet.
Two questions:
-For port forwarding on the remote router, connected to the remote RN104, is that port 22?
-Is this considered to be a safe solution, RSYNC over SSH? (I've seen that I should limit the SSH user to RSYNC only, but any other hints?)
Thanks!
