Would you recommend ReadyNAS Replicate add-on
I have a few clients that I had installed ReadyNAS's and with the recent Replicate 2 announcement, I am wondering if I should look into this option. I fully understand that all the problem postings...
When it works, its a nice feature.
When it doesn't work it becomes apparent that its poorly documented.
I'm in the forum at this point because I have an issue with Replication and have not found any documentation regarding the log file error codes.
It's easy to setup and use.
Versioning is not documented so I have no idea how it works.
Snapshot is not well documented but I can guess how it works.
I've had to restore, this is a sore spot...
Each replicate job is a new folder that is linked to the previous, to restore I copied the file I wanted to an external USB drive. If any one of the links is broken the copy will fail and then you are stuck. You can't move or consolidate the resulting replicate jobs that I know of. This is another area that lacks documentation.
Not sure if I would buy again. Let's see how support responds to my email request and then I'll reply back.
