How to backaup NAS

New to this...

I have an Readynas duo v2 with 2 1Tb hardrives.

Modell: ReadyNAS Duo [X-RAID]
Fast programvara: RAIDiator 4.1.9 [1.00a043]
Minne: 256 MB [2.5-3-3-7]
Volym C: Online, X-RAID, 2 diskar, 78% av 925 GB använt


I would like to have an backup of the NAS and was thinking if I could buy one extra drive.

The plan would the be to:

1:Remove one drive (drive "Olle"), put the drive in a safe place.
2:Put a new clean drive(drive "Nisse") in the empty slot.
3:To mounts later I remove Nisse to a safe place and replace it with Olle to have a new backup of the NAS


Will this work???

  • Hi

    I didnt know there were any possiblities to do any settings?

    The only thing I can setup is what to backup and to where?

    I cannot find any other settings?
  • Is the protocol used listed as cifs. You may be able to see this in the backup summary or in the backup logs.
    EXT3 should be faster than ntfs.
    This sounds too slow, I would contact support.
