ReadyNAS Backup options
Does anyone use any third party software to backup their NAS? We have a customer with 2 onsite ReadyNas devices which was using the Rsynch Native backup to backup the active NAS to the Passive one. This has been working well but since 6.10.4 it no longer works and it doesnt appear to have been fixed in 6.10.5 either, so we are constantly backdating the firmware to 6.10.3. I am losing confidence that NetGear will address this issue in later releases. Does anyone have any other options for backing up the NAS, happy to look at third paty software and use the backup NAS as the repsitory for the backups.
Cheers,

You can work around the rsync issue by setting up backup jobs for each share, instead of backing up the entire NAS with one backup job. All home folders can be done in one backup job.
I don't know of third-party software to back up NAS->NAS, though there are some options for NAS->Cloud.
I'm not sure why you are "constantly backdating" the OS, either. Automatic updates can be disabled.
I am not sure why either, i have unticked checked for OS updates but whenever i log in it messages me that a new OS has been loaded and reboot is necessary to apply it! Now either another admin is allowing it (a few different users can log into the app and i have told all not to do it) or the OS just goes ahead and does it anyway!!!
