My ReadyNAS Story . . .
Day 1... After a month going back and forth between manufacturers, and then finally between the Pro 2, 4, and 6, I order the 6 from Amazon on Tuesday along with two Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB SATA...
I'm also using Acronis Backup to backup my main PC to the NAS. I've found that Acronis sometimes has issues deleting split volumes when a single-version chain is selected, meaning it will create new backups and fail to delete the old ones after a period of time. Saving each backup as a single file (without splitting) so far has not exhibited this issue. Not tried restoring from a backup yet, but the backups all validate fine, so am placing my faith in them.
All NAS files (but excluding the Acronis backup) are backed up from the NAS to an auxillary drive on the host PC. The Acronis backup doesn't contain any userdata, as I store all personal files directly to the NAS. Acronis is mainly being used to save an image of the main PC from which I can quickly restore if things go screwy. Loss of this backup isn't a major issue as I would simply reinstall from the CD and use the drivers / software on the NAS (or auxillary HDD) to re-install from. Having it just saves me a lot of time.
