Backing up readynas with other NAS via internet
Hi Everyone, I am using readynas 102 with two 2 TB drives. I keep all personal photos and videos as home archive. Data is relatively safe as disk works in RAID mode. But what If I get this disk stol...
One of the more secure ways to do that, and the way I am doing it, is using a VPN to connect the two NASes as if they were on the same network. I personally use ZeroTier, which you can find here: NAStools zerotierone releases. It does require that you create a free account on the ZeroTier web site that serves as a locator system to connect the devices, but the data does not go through them. Once each has a ZeroTier address in the same ZeroTier network, you just use that address in the onboard backup system. Google ZeroTier for more info.
But I'm not going to walk you through it. It is important that you at least understand the fundamentals, which you will not get from a playbook.
The WD Personal Cloud is nothing but another NAS. If you have difficulty seting up a backup between two NASes of the same brand, I don't think you want to complicate it with a second brand.
Thank you very much for answer. Most important info is that it can be done.. I think I will need to contact som IT people at work to have it configured! Thank you
