Offsite backup between 2 RN...step by step
Hi Everyone. I have a Pro Pioneer model. A family member has a Ultra 4 model. Both boxes work great in our respective networks, real happy. What we want to do is schedule an offsite backup of each ...
Nothing dumb.
rsync over ssh is integrated into the "business" products - but the ultra-4 isn't one. There used to be a community add-on to fill that gap, but it is no longer available for download.
Getting/installing VPN routers in both locations is an option. That joins the two networks into one, so you both need to be comfortable with doing that. All traffic between the two LANS would be secured by the VPN.
You could also try to find a backup utility for the Mac that (a) supports network drives as a source and (b) uses FTPS (FTP over explicit TLS - which is encrypted). That would let you run the backups on the Macs, with the target being the remote NAS FTP server. If you can find such a utility, it is probably your simplest approach.
A third approach is to hack your systems to run OS6. You'd lose Netgear support (unless you migrated back), but it would give you rsync over ssh. You'd be rebuilding both NAS from scratch (loss of configuration and data). I include this for completeness, I am not particularly recommending it - unless you are really looking to maximize your learning experience! There are threads here on how to do that.
