ReadyNAS® Pro vs ReadyNas Ultra Plus ??

I currently have a NV that is 97% full. I would like to migrate all the data from the NV to the plus/pro. (I assume that I will have to drag and drop??) Once completed, I would like to back up the pro/plus via snapshot. Next, I would like to use the NV as the backup target for the pro/plus and be able to 'land' or 'replicate' the snaps onto the NV. The NV will stay local for about 3 months and then will move to another location for DR (no vpn, internet only) I do want all the software functionality that the ultra plus offers, but need snap, ftp, performance that the pro offers. A few questions: Can I get all the software/add-on’s that are offered for the plus on the pro as well? Is it possible to take snaps on the plus/pro and 'land' them on the NV? Thanks in advance for your comments and direction! regnav

The Ultra series does not provide snapshots, so you'll need to use the business feature set of the Pro series to get that. The Pro supports all the software add-ons that run on x86, so you're good there. And you can take snapshots on the Pro and rsync it across to the NV.
