ReadyNAS with Ubuntu sync
Hi, I have a RN204 that I'm using to host files. I'd like to setup an offsite backup using an old desktop I have. I plan to install Ubuntu. How do I setup a sync between the two? Thanks.
Thanks. I'm not too familiar with networking. If the ReadyNAS is constantly connected to the server through a VPN, will I be able to still access the ReadyNAS locally?

Yes. The VPN network connection would be in addition to the normal network connection; it wouldn't replace it.
Thanks. So I would set up a openvpn server on the Ubuntu machine, openvpn client on the RN204, and enable rsync for both?
Would it be easier to install WINE and download ReadyCloud?

I don't know, it's not something I've tried.
You will get more consistent performance if you use a VPN, since your throughput won't depend on Netgear's cloud servers.
I'm reading tutorials on how to setup openvpn server on Ubuntu and it looks very cumbersome.
