Which device is recomened for off site backup?
Hello. We have two Readynas Pro devices at our office. Each only uses under 500gig space.
I wish to replicate the data to an offsite device for backup purposes.
I do not require dual ports. Just the ability tom replicate. Which device is the cheapest available?
Also, is there a difference with Replicate and using rsync?
Thanks

- Cheapest is the Ultra.
It's recommended to us a ReadyNAS Pro Series device though (Pro 2/4/6). - Can you assist me by explaining why ReadyNas Pro is the recommended? Please keep in mind this unit is meant for off site storage.
- ReadyNAS Pro Series has business features such as snapshot feature. Whilst this is only of benefit for the source machine, it'd be better to have a Pro at both locations. If on a tight budget you could put an Ultra off-site.
Replicate uses Rsync. It's better than simply using Rsync as it allows you to keep multiple revisions of your files and control backups between your ReadyNAS units using a single web admin interface, amongst other nice features. Have a read of http://www.readynas.com/replicate
