Backing up Egnyte Partition
We plan on using OLC primarily for Data security/redundancy. The ideal would be that on the 1500 4tb model we could do a nightly backup of the OLC data on the same NAS box, perhaps on a separate part...
Hi John,
There are a few ways to backing up OLC data on the ReadyNAS.
1. NETGEAR has a built-in backup where a share can be backed up to another share. There are also plenty of options such as another machine on the network, attached USB drive, etc, that can backup the partition.
2. Write a script that will RSYNC the partitioned data nightly. I would recommend this method if you feel comfortable with RSYNC.
And yes, file locking does not sync between OLC and web access. The reason for this is because OLC data can be accessed/edited offline if there is no internet connection, while web access data is accessed/edited live.
One workaround (if you have reliable internet) is to have all employees work online through the web browser interface or mapped drive/web-dav (much more direct use of Egnyte). That way all access, editing, storage is done live, and the data will be synced remotely (automatically backed up) to the cloud.
