setup advice - time to upgrade?
Hi There, Recently started working in a small graphic design studio and have inherited responsibilty for the server! It currently consists of a ReadyNAS NV+ (4 disks, 52% of 1380 GB used), gig ...
as you are not a techie, and this is for business use, I will mention this: A NAS is a great system for data storage, and the raid formating helps ensure the data is protected. HOWEVER a NAS is no replacement for having backups. It is critical, esp in a corporate environment to have backups as well--preferably offsite.
Look at using the old readynas but keeping it far from the main one. I am not sure if the NV+ can use the replicate feature, but this would enable your new and this old readynas to replicate though the internet, meaning the old system can be put in another location.
Or look at a cloud based storage solution. Or just a plain old external HD that you do weekly to backup your relatively small storage array.
Cheers!
funglennyou are right, If you are running a business an on site backup is mandatory and offsite too. If your home and office are distant you can do it like that!! And each device under strict warranty!!! Out of warranty equipment should only be used as a plan C or D end temporarily!
This thread had been dormant for 5 months.
In my opinion, responding to long-dormant threads isn't that helpful. The OP usually isn't paying attention any more. And if you are running into the same or similar problems, it's usually better to start a fresh one (linking to the original if you think it is relevant).
