Duo with 2x2tb drives (4tb raid possible?)
Hi, I have a ReadyNas Duo with two 2TB drives installed. Can I use the two drives in a raid mode as one big drive with a capacity of 4TB? And does the Duo support 4TB usb drives as a backup driv...
To back up to another NAS it would be best if the other NAS supported rsync. The initial backup would be made with NFS which will take some time. But then change the job to rsysnc and run the backup job a second time. This will verify that all files have been copied over as it synchronizes the files between the two units. It will should only take f few minutes. Then schedule a backup to run at a specific time and it will automatically synchronize the files between the two shares. I back up 4 shares from one NAS to another like this and it rarely takes more than just a few minutes per share, unless I have added a lot of videos.
Not all NAS devices support rsync, but all ReadyNAS devices do. I would recommend going to the Ultra series to gain the additional speed, and you might want to consider going to a 4 bay for greater future expansion.
