Mirror existing NAS to new NAS?
Hi everyone, After my close call with almost losing a volume (viewtopic.php?f=66&t=55910), it is time to seriously consider moving to dual-redundancy for my main NAS with a complete kept-up-to-date...

While the first backup with NFS will take some time, when you change over to rsync, you will be amazed at the speed of the backup. Of course the first backup will be from your current NAS to the new, you may have to do a second one back.
This is exactly what I want to do. Given that the volume on my current NAS has had a couple of problems requiring support's intervention, I want to do a factory default with up to date firmware before using it as the backup device.
mdgm: thanks for the history lesson - I'll have to sit tight until they become available again.
