NAS to NAS over web - How would I set it up?

Another question on the same note: So, if I have a ReadyNAS on-site and one off-site both with replicate licenses. Can I do backups of PC's at BOTH ends? What about a completely random off-site PC that I want to do an FTP backup to one of these ReadyNAS devices? Does it matter which one I do it on? If I FTP backup to one, will the device replicate on the other, etc? I guess I'm asking, is one device a "master" that the "slave" replicates from, or can I work with both devices at their respective locations and have them replicate everything to each other? Thanks, just about to set this up, need to know if this is a limitation.

You can backup to both the devices independently. The way Replicate works is that the 2nd device contains the replicate data of the first but keeps that data separately in a folder. This way, this same device can act as a Replicate target for a 3rd or 4th device if necessary. If you wish, you can setup the 2nd device to replicate back to the first as well. The flexibility allows you to replicate down to just a particular folder.
