Thanks both for the advice.
I will connect up through the switch and connect the backup drive to a PC through USB. Does the rsync advice still apply? Or is it OK to backup using simple drag/drop across the network and then rsync the two locations - and it hopefully needs to do nothing..
I am using W7 and Firefox - have done a config backup and looked inside - a tmp and etc folder. I do know some unix (also use ssh on the NAS) so will have a look through them. :)
I have thought for a while about putting the switch onto the network 'before' the router and connecting almost everything through that but have never gotten around to it. I think I will now..:)
EDIT: did a quick backup to remote PC but couldn't see how the rsync process could be modified to it - let alone a USB drive connected to it. Not even sure a backup can go to a USB attached to a remote PC?
Drag/drop me thinks..
Thanks again.
