ReadyNAS NV+ V2 and StarTech HD Dock
Just wonder if anyone has tried to do a backup from their ReadyNAS to a StarTech hard drive docking station. I had several 1TB SATA drives and bought a StarTech USB 3.0 SATA hard drive docking station...
Hi there,
I've successfully used similar hard drive docking stations (sumovision & a unbranded one)and currently use them for my external method of backing up my NAS's. Not tried usb3, due to mine being usb2.
Initially i let the nas format the disks as ext3, and away I went. renamed the drives again within frontview (on an ultra) to ensure i was not restricted later on with the auto naming convention.
Setup the initial jobs via NFS, once the drive was populated, amended the job to rsync - works well for me! (apart from when i tred to do all this within a duo v2, as the rsync has no method to delete files via backup job using rsync, but thats a current limition as at firmware v5.3.7)
