Replication compatability with Ultra4 ?

I have a ReadyNas Ultra4 (strandard not pro or anything special). Looking at purchasing another ReadyNas to backup the exisiting Ultra4. The RN31441E-100EUS looks like a nice one but would the two be compatable to run replication?

Hello gazzaroo,

Yes mdgm is right. You can do ReadyNAS Replicate between the Ultra 4 and RN314. However, Ultra 4 needs ReadyNAS Replicate license while all ReadyNAS OS6 (including RN314) come with it for free.

If the 2 ReadyNAS untis are in one same LAN, it is easy to do RSYNC too to back up from one NAS to another. Here is another thread about backing up files from ultra series to OS6: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/ReadyNAS-Ultra-backyp-rsync-to-my-102/td-p/959670

  Thanks for the replies...
  
  So that I understand this correctly - the new NAS would have a free copy of the Replicate licence and I would still need to purchase another licence for the Ultra4?

    Hello gazzaroo,
    
    ReadyNAS Ultra 4 is an OS4 that does not come with free ReadyNAS Replicate. Please see http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/20841/~/readynas-replicate-faq for ReadyNAS Replicate info and license needed.
    
    Here's a user manual that you may want to check on before purchasing: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-COMMON/ReadyNAS%20Replicate%20UM_10Jul2013.pdf
    
    Hope this helps.
