Ready NAS 104 Apps Archive needed
Hi I have a Ready NAS 104 that I bought new years ago and loaded up with drives. I could never work out how to get it to sync to my laptops to backup my data so I gave up. Today I decided to try ag...
Thanks for all the good info.
I mainly just want to backup all my personal live data on each Windows machine. Things like the documents directory etc.
I don't actually want to image the complete drive or anything high end like that.
The other reason for wanting apps is to get something like WinSCP but on the nas to pull some files from a friend's server overseas.
I'll start working with what you've told me so far soon. Thanks again.

Then something like FreeFileSync would be a good fit.
The NAS does have a backup job facility that you could set up for laptops, but in my experience you are better off running something that is hosted on the PCs.

The NAS has rsync installed, as well as ftp/ftps/sftp. Backup jobs can use rsync (including rsync over ssh), or ftp to copy folders to a destination on the NAS, and the backups can be scheduled. There's nothing interactive (like WinSCP) though.
If you map a share to a drive letter on a PC, you can also just run WinSCP on a PC if you like (with the NAS share as the destination).
