My RN422 longer sees saved Tivo recordings after latest firmware update
I have a Tivo HD and a Tivo Premiere. Both are activated for archiving on my new RN422 and both have been working fine. Since the latest firmware update (6.9.3), however, both Tivos are still saving ...
One more thing I wanted to mention. Transfer speed. I have searched Netgear many times to find something to my liking. It turns out that the Enterprise or business class NAS boxes are the fastest. This due to faster processors and more ram memory. I am not ready to pay over a grand for a NAS just yet. But, like in my previous post, if all you want to do is stream video, if the old Stora works great than I would think any of the others will do the same. I think it's important to think of future uses though and that one important future use for me was backups. If I have to go to bed while the backup is happening, not a problem. As long as it completes with no errors by the time I wake up. So far, Acronis has been great for many years that I have been using it now. Good luck in your search and I hope you get what you are looking for soon so you can enjoy!
Thanks for the drive recommendation. i have about 400 gigs of video on a 750 gig drive and the OS drive is 256 SSD. So I think even the same 2TB I have now with mycloud should be good on the NAS since that’s just 1 TB to backup. Ill have raid backup of everything and room to have 1 more TB of stuff on NAS if I need to (cause everyone needs MORE video they never watch).
I have paid version of acronis and have been happy with it the past year. Since my wireless laptop has zero lag when trancoding video to tivo, and the laptop is at least 5 years old, I’m assuming that any new readynas will give me the same instant performance. So if I start to pull from NAS to tivo that its immediately watchable. If this turns out not to be true I admit ill be upset.
Regarding speed of backups I don’t worry about that. it takes me about 3 to 4 hours with Ethernet plugged in the laptop to backup the 400 gigs of video to mycloud. I just let it run on weekends when the laptop is open all day. my plan is use NAS for the 1TB on my laptop so it backs up to both NAS drives for the redundancy. I’m assuming the raid drives just show up as one drive on windows explorer? I never used RAID before. But I want the safety now.
I wont do ebay for such a large purchase but I will take a look to convince myself of the pricing. The readynas appears to be 200 or 300 depending on which I decide. I think model 422 is what I found on amazon for 300. Will look around for deals of course. But the idea of a backup solution plus media server to tivo is something id love to have.
Now what am I gonna do with 400 gigs free space on my laptop (scratches head)
