Yes. And of course you should be able to schedule the FTP backups during times when local access is light.
What speeds are you seeing?

Hi StephenB and thank you for your response.
I upgraded my NAS to raid (using now 2 HDD)
when I do a backup from an external USB drive connected to my laptop, using Syncbackpro, the speed seemsto be slightly above 5 Mbps. I'm on wifi.
Does this sound correct?

What speed are you seeing with speedtest.net?
Also, do you mean 5 megabits per second or 5 megabytes per second?

Hi,
I'm connected locally to the NAS (which is at my home)
when connecting to my NAS over Wifi, I get about 5 megabytes/s, when a connect with cable ethernet, the speed rises to slightly less than 10 megabytes/sec
using speedtest i see an internet download speed of 27 megabytes/s and upload speed of about 6.5 megabytes/s
I have another question ;-), but let's close this case first. Do you think the above speeds are correct for this device?
