Upgrading to Ultra 6+ from NV+
Hello all, I am considering upgrading my aging NV+ and NV units to a Pro 6 or Ultra 6+. I had some questions regarding my potential upgrade: 1) Is there any file size limitation on Time Machine ...

When I did it (late last year), all of the things that made it easier were not available on any of the Sparc implementations. So the only way to do it (the ONLY way) was to use SSH. Every other option was only for x86 ReadyNASes.
I disagree. I migrated to an Ultra 6 earlier that year and even then it was a little easier to migrate NV+ v1 to a NV+ v1 rather than NV+ v1 to x86 NAS. Sure there wasn't the option to backup Time Machine in Frontview, but you could backup "C" volume with ".timemachine" path.

hmmm... so NAS "A" can't NFS share from NAS "B" natively without using SSH? Well, maybe I'll be better off letting my Plex server be a separate machine which just NFSes to the two ReadyNASes. That's too bad. Would have been nice to have it all on one box. But... maybe with 6x3TB drives I can do it.
The ReadyNAS is only designed to be a NFS client for the purposes of backup jobs. Using it as a NFS client for other purposes is not supported but if you know the commands to use then it'll work fine.
