Recommended way to replicate/copy the contents of one readynas to another one that is offsite?
One is NS312 and the other is NS424. Both have 6.8.1 firmware. Both sides have 75/75 internet speeds. Is the Replicate feature the one to use or the ReadyDR? What amount of data can be moved in a...
Replicate is being deprecated, so that's not really an option. Rsync over ssh would be an alternative to ReadyDR.
Rsync writes to destination shares, so the data is accessed the same as it would be on the primary NAS. Snapshots would of course only let you see previous backed up versions. If a file changes, the entire file is sent.
ReadyDR backs up snapshots. The destination can't be accessed directly, it needs to be restored. If a file changes, only the modified blocks are sent.
If you need to back up iSCSI LUNS, then ReadyDR is clearly more efficient. If not, it depends on whether you want to directly access the destination on the remote system.
