ReadyNAS backup solution question
Hi Folks, I'm trying to confirm the details of a backup solution before we make a purchase. Can someone here tell me if this configuration would work and how I should best implement it? Our Env...
Hi Simon,
Your setup sounds quite similar to mine. I have a primary central site with just over a dozen servers (mostly Windows with some linux) that I backup to a primary ReadyNAS 2100. I use DeltaCopy to rsync (push) the data folders on my Windows servers to the ReadyNAS. I've got 2 other ReadyNAS 2100's installed at 2 remote sites acting as backups to the primary.
The servers push their data to the primary NAS via rsync at regular intervals throughout the day and then every night at midnight I take a snapshot of the shares. Shortly thereafter, I have a Frontview backup job configured on the remote 2100's pull the snapshot data over the WAN using rsync.
I've written details about my setup here before... I'll see if I can find the post.
