Unison Support?
I'd like to throw support for Unison (client & server) into the hat. It's cross platform, similar to rsync, but easier to use, and has plenty of F/OSS implementations. Unison might really make mirroring a lot easier with the readynas.

- I've started to use Unison to synchronize some directories and it works amazingly well.
I think it would fit perfectly well to the ReadyNas as it would allow one to synchronize many machines with one master (the nas), which is the recommended way to synchronize more than 2 hosts.
+1 - Yeah, the only downside is that it appears that the developers have decided to move on to other projects.
Hopefully someone motivated in the F/OSS community will pick it up, because it has some real potential.
-a - Thanks for the suggestion, I really like what I've read about it.
Uses the rsync block-level diff algorithm, but also supports 2-way sync directly, and supposedly can even merge changes at both ends into the same file!
And native binary available for Windows, so no need for Cygwin...
+1 !
