Successful User Experience after 1 month of ownership
Forum categories are a little weak IMHO. I would think "User Experience" would be its own forum. "Feedback" looks a little bitchy. Anyhow, I've owned my ReadyNAS NV+ for about a month and thought...

I am not familiar with "Ghost" unless you are talking about Nortons Ghost which I used until the SATA drives came out and they were slow responding to handling the SATA controller and USB drives. I used to to clone one drive to another. (Still clone my system drives. No important data on the PC's. All important/critical data on ReadyNAS units which makes it accessible to all PC's.)
I use my ReadyNAS as a server not a backup unit. I actually have a 4 1/2 year old NV+ (Infrant - pre Netgear) in a backup role by using rsync to synchronize the files on the NVX to the NV+. If I were going to back up my PC's to the ReadyNAS I would either use the Mimeo that came on my NVX setup disc, or Acronis. (I went to Acronis True Image to replace Nortons Ghost back in 2006).
