help with backing up multiple PC's
I purchased shadow 5 to back up multiple computers. The problem I am having is how do I back up without one computer deleting files from another computer backup? I have four folders, DOCUMENTS MUSIC V...
I am looking to do something similar, I think.
Thinking of terms of using SQL, I would like to left join a folder on my ReadyNAS with a folder on my PC. Specifically, I subscribe to several podcasts that I like to keep copies of. I put the older copies in a folder on the NAS (e.g. share/Podcasts/Podcast_name1) and delete them from my PC. When I download the next podcast on my PC, I would like to write a script or use Rsync or some other automation to keep whatever is in the NAS folder and only add to that folder what is not there. Ideally, I would like to set this up so it does the same thing for each subdirectory of the Podcasts directory. In other words, I would like to add all new PC files to //share/Podcasts/Podcast_name1 from //PC/Podcasts/Podcast_name1 and then do the same exact thing for /Podcast_name2 (e.g. add all files that are in //PC/Podcasts/Podcast_name2 to //share/Podcasts/Podcast_name2).
Does anyone know of any potential solution? I have a ReadyNAS NV+ and a ReadyNAS Pro4. I am open to using rsync, a commercial program, or even scripting using Python, though I'm somewhat of a novice with rsync and Python.
