Disk size and hotswap backup
Hi, New here. I have a couple of PCs on a home LAN and want something better for backup/reliability. I think the answer is an NAS with RAID1. I haven't managed to find anyone doing it, but m...
Frontview has a configurable backup process, I would post images, but if you are going with a Duo v2, then it uses the new RAIDiator version 5 and I have not seen any of the screens. By the time it is released to the market, you can download the manual and read through it before you purchase the device.
The array is set up with different shares. The standard shares that have come set up so far are backup and media. Media then has folders for video and pictures. Each share would require a different backup job process. Here is the screen showing the two backup shares on my NV+. I had set up a finance share for all of my financial records and an operational share for other important files. My finance share which I just copied to an external USB drive is less than 2GB. I also copied some folders from my operational share and the photo folder from my media share. Total was around 50GB on a 160GB USB2 WD Passport which is about to go to my bank SD box. This is a monthly oh s... backup incase disaster takes the house and ReadyNAS. My routine backups are done nightly on a second NAS.
Keep in mind your screens will look different with the new firmware on the Duo v2.
