Using Replicate between ReadyNAS boxes hosted by ISP
I'd like to install a second ReadyNAS box at a trusted friends home and use that with Replicate to provide a backup both directions... his box has space for my backup, and my box has space for his backup. We are both hosted by the same ISP, both on a fiber connection and live about 5miles apart, so bandwidth isn't an issue. I believe the Replicate app allows this kind of cross-backup with x86-based units.
The question is whether the ISP router/firewalls at both sides will allow both ReadyNAS units to establish a direct connection and pass packets back and forth once the connection manager sets them up. Has anyone tried this? I'm also wondering if the ISP will have a problem with us hosting data this way, but I don't see this as any different than data volumes generated by cloud backup services. Compressed R-sync should moderate the traffic if that's an issue.
The feasibility of this is gating the purchase of an Ultra-6.

- This should work fine. Replicate is free to try before you buy. If you have issues post in the Replicate forum (http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=138)
There's a sticky in that forum for getting immediate help with issues if you really need it.
