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....
Hello StephenB.
I'm afraid I'm so clueless about my NAS that I'm just beginning to formulate a strategy.
I have my main iMac and a couple of older Macs, including a Mac Pro that have just accumulated a lot of data over the years. As I said, I'm using Time Machine to back up some of the data, but can't manage to back up everything on my current storage, since some of my video projects are very large. I hope to rationalise all my stuff , dump all my 'belt and braces' duplicates, and decide which files are critical. When it's all done I hope to fit most of it into my 6TB NAS. Anything else I'll try to figure out using my existing Time Machine stuff. I'm still in the process of going through my existing files and was just playing around with ReadyNAS to see how I might setup 'Backup Jobs'.
In the end I may have to consider upgrading the storage on my ReadyNAS but at the moment I can't stretch my budget that far.
Thanks again for being so helpful.
