Best strategy for full NAS backup under 4TB?
I have two Pro Pioneer systems that were set-up three years ago and are due to have their drives replaced with larger capacity drives. Both systems have under 4TB of data. Both have had regular USB...
It will be fastest to back up the data over a gigabit network to a drive connected to a PC. USB speeds on most ReadyNAS including the Pro line are not great.
You can back up the entire data volume through frontview. RSYNC is a good protocol for that (run once with NFS, then edit it to use RSYNC). It does require the right software on the PC though.
If you want to run the backup job from the PC, you can access the full data volume over CIFS/SMB using admin credentials. You can use robocopy to copy it.
