Much Ado About ReadyNAS Ultra 4
Hi, Does anyone have an estimate of how much time is needed to initialise 4 x 2Tb Hitachi HDD on a ReadyNAS Ultra 4? I had this unit set up and it was working fine. I decided to boot it up to...
Adiemus - when you are finished with the NFS backup (which will probably take hours and hours, change the server to Rsync Server and manually run it again. This just verifies the backup.
To now make the NV+ the backup and the Ultra 4 the primary, just reverse the jobs. You can either edit the jobs on the NV+ (by clicking on the job number) and pull the jobs, or set up new ones on the Ultra 4 to push the job. I would recommend the latter as you can set the jobs up on the Ultra before you delete them from the NV+, or you can leave them on the NV+, just make sure the box in front of the job name (the enable box) is unchecked. The check enables the scheduled backup and a job does not have to be enabled to be run manually by clicking on the "GO" button.
If you run your backups over night as I do, if you really mess up a file, yesterday's version will still be on the backup unit.
