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...
Is this for backup or do you need to access the data at the remote site? "Replicate" is mis-named, BTW, it does not replicate a NAS to another NAS; it's a backup system. The ReadyNAS still lacks a true replication system where the target NAS can be substituted for the source if it should go down. But you can get close with backup jobs over either SSH or a VPN..
Yes, replication is what I am after. Should the local nas be out of commission, then we have a copy offsite. I am not expecting to be able to put the offsite nas in the place of the local one, altho that would be nice. I was hoping with the Replicate feature that for the most part after it is setup we would be getting an exact copy of the local nas to an offsite one. So if replication is not availalbe, then yes it is for backup.
