Replicate 314 to a NV+
Hi all, Just upgraded from my trusty readynas NV+ to a 314 (both with 4 2Tb drives). Had a question - is it possible to backup the entire 8TB on my 314 to the NV+? Can Replicate work like that? ...

Thanks for your reply vandermerwe :)
Sorry, I should have been more specific - yes, I have raid 5 setup, so technically I have just under 6Tb available plus the 2tb redundancy making up the 8Tb in total drive capacity.
So if I'm hearing you right, I should:
* Initially use nfs backup job for the first backup (with both NAS's side by side on the same network onsite), where
* Source is 314 Time Machine and Destination is remote nfs (new Time Machine backup partition on NV+)
* Once this initial backup is done, then turn off nfs backup job
* Move the 2nd NAS (NV+) offsite and configure rsync daily backup job on 314 such that
* Source is 314 Time Machine and Destination is remote rsync server (again, Time Machine backup partition on NV+)
If this looks right, questions are:
* As long as the NV+ can be 'seen' by the 314, everything is 'pushed' from the 314. Is there nothing else to setup from the NV+ side of things?
* I guess I should also perform the 1st rsync on site as well just to be sure?
* Can nfs and rsync backup jobs be configured for TIme Machine? (It looks straightforward for shares, but does the Time Machine partition act differently?)
Is that right? Have I missed/assumed/overlooked anything here?
Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction :)
