Backing up - ReadyNAS as client to PC as target
Hi,
Linux
RreadyNAS
Can I use Frontview (as it states here to backup from my ReadyNAS as client to a disk on my PC?
I have researched this forum but nothing seemed to tell me what I needed to enter.

- If the PC disk has a shared folder, then you can back up to it with a FrontView backup job (picking remote Windows/NAS timestamp as the destination type) ("pushing" the files from the NAS to the PC).
Alternatively, you can "pull" the NAS files to your PC, using robocopy or something similar. (you do this at the PC, not the NAS). - Thanks for your interest, StephenB.
I want to use Frontview to handle the backups. But I can not (I'm using Ubuntu Linux) see anything to put under Windows/NAS timestamp.
I have tried https://192.168.1.xxx but it won't accept it nor is there anything for me to browse. I am using nfs, not samba.
David - If you are using Linux/NFS, then you would choose
"Remote: NFS Server" as the backup destination type.
The host is either the IP address or the hostname of the linux system (no https:\\ junk)
The path is the shared folder on the linux system that is receiving the backup. - My apologies for unavoidably not being able to say 'thank you' before.
Thank you for your help.
