Remote backup to my NAS from my family
Dear all, I've just installed a Readynas Ultra 2 at home, which isn't my first attempt to create a safe backup for mine and my family's photos and documents, but I hope it will be a successful one...
First tip is that you should consider separate shares for each user, not folders within a "server' share. It is much simpler to manage access for shares than for folders within a share.
Is the NAS merely backing these folders up, or is the NAS hosting these folders? I ask this because some of your requirements seem a bit muddied here. If the NAS is hosting these folders, then there is no syncing. The family reads/writes their files directly to the NAS, and that is the end of it. If the NAS is backing them up (with the real data being on the family members PCs) then that would be very different.
