Don't understand ReadyNAS Backup info
I'm new to my 104 ReadyNAS and was just trying a test Backup and following the Netgear instructions. I'm remotely connecting via my local network with my RN104 and selecting 'Backup/Add Backup....
Thanks StephenB for replying so quickly.
I think I need a bit of rewiring to understand 'Local' and 'Remote'. Your info helped a lot and I realise I should be trying to do my Backup test from the Mac I'm on (remote) to my ReadyNAS (local), but I'm still stuck. I have the IP address of my Mac but don't know what Protocol I should choose for a Mac (Windows is referred to by default), and I need to work out what my 'Login' and 'Password' should be. I'm guessing it's what I use to login to my Mac but that didn't work when I tried it.
Anyway I"ll try calling Netgear tomorrow and see if they can help some more.
Thanks again.
