replicate both ways?
I would like to buy another Netgear duo and replicate it across the web to another location. Easy enough according to the notes. Is this a free add-on?
However, is there a way that I can have the back up duo as a working duo as well.
E.g. duo 1 has four share areas, a,b,c,d and duo 2 has these backed up with areas ,back up a, back up b, back up c and back up d
Is it possible to make duo 1 have share back up areas e,f,g and duo 2 have active share areas e,f,g.
In simple terms I want my duo to back up to a family member duo and the family member duo to back up to mine. Obviously I don't want it backing up the back ups!
I also do not want the back UPS available on pcs to each other. E.g I don't want me to gain access to the back up of the other router without needing special username and password.

- Newbuilder,
Did you ever get an answer to your questions? I have the same questions, i.e.
NAS1 with share A to be backed up to NAS2
NAS2 with share B to be backed up to NAS1
shares to remain confidential, i.e. a user which normally works on NAS2 and doesn't normally have access to share A on NAS1 should not get access to the backup on NAS2 of share A.
Wondering about the costs as well, cannot find it anywhere. - You need to purchase licenses for Replicate. One for each NAS.
Home licenses for Duo/NV+ v2
Desktop licenses for Ultra/Pro
Rackmount licenses for rackmount x86 ReadyNAS i.e. 2100/1500/3100/3200/4200
Replicate is not available for Duo/NV+ v1 which presumably newbuilder has based on forum join date.
There is a free trial for Replicate should you wish to try before you buy. - Can Replicate replicate in both directions whereby in a 2 location scenario changes at location 1 replicate to location 2 and changes at location 2 replicate to location 1?? Or is this simply a one-way back solution??
- its one way, but you can setup 2 different backup jobs, to copy files from different shares to backup shares on the other device.
for 2 way replication, you might check out egnyte, however its not free and has a monthly cost. - I was afraid of that. I will check out Egnyte. Thanks!!
