If it helps wdrumheller - I have tested it with flat files - and they replicate perfectly. As long as you do the first backup with both NAS on the same LAN, then any subsequent replicate jobs offsite will be perfect - it will only send the changed files.
Having said that, original problem still exists - if it does see a difference in a file - it will copy the whole file offsite. Fine is word docs - useless if it is a 10GB backup file...
Netgear have advised me Replicate is 3rd party and they don't develop it - but when I login it says "NETGEAR" all over it. What a cop out from Netgear - and I hope others read this because REPLICATE is not suitable for using one nas as a windows backup target - and then replicating it offsite. It does NOT do this - however I assumed it did looking at the documentation. IT DOESNT. What it does do is mirror one NAS offsite if it has a lot of SMALL files on it. ANY LARGE files and you'll never get them offsite in any kind of window.....
