How to replicate R6 time machine backups
Hi, Is there a way to replicate /data/.timamachine -directory? That is not selectable in a replicate.readynas.com WEB GUI. Regards, -Jukka-

I would love to be able to use Replicate to remotely backup my Time Machine also! Netgear took that ability away with OS 6 - it was available in OS 4. Imagine my surprise spending all that money upgrading from ReadyNAS Pro 6's to 516 & 716's only to find out it can't be done, but the old machines/OS could!
I did have someone at Netgear do a "custom" Replicate Job that gave me the capability to backup my TimeMachine remotely in OS 6 and it worked perfectly - only to have it disappear when I had one of my new 716's go down (power problem with actual box & since fixed by Netgear) which led to the disappearance of the custom Time Machine Job that was created! UGG! If it can be done by Netgear, why not incorporate it as a feature in OS 6?
Currently I am trying to figure out how to do an Rsync SSH remotely (with two days of my time wasted) in order to try to do a Remote FrontView Backup of my TimeMachine (shares which do show up as an option now in OS 6.2 - thank you Netgear). For some reason, I am unable to get a remote backup of any kind working (Rsync on my LAN from ReadyNAS to ReadyNAS works great, but remote does not). I am also at a loss as to the old method of creating Rsync SSH keys - it is available in OS 6 to create, but where in the world do you actually ADD it on the other NAS in OS 6?
Someone at Netgear - HELP! This is a feature that is terribly needed! I am currently backing up my TimeMachine shares to a USB drive and then moving the USB drive off-site to my home!
