Sync-ing Files to NAS ......
Hello All - I own a ReadyNAS Duo (v1). I would like to be able to have folders on my PC synced / backup (Win 7) with my NAS (preferably auto at night). Does Netgear have a solution? Third Party?...
I'm not familiar with Cobian or Allway Sync.
Personally I use Acronis, which runs on the PCs per schedule and outputs its image files to destination folders on the NAS. It needs the NAS credentials to do that. Acronis is just backing up, it is not 2-way sync.
Frontview can do backup jobs from a PC folder to the NAS, but it can be a little tricky to set up. You need to share the PC folder (on the PC), and often need to use the PC's IP address instead of its name.
If you map the destination share on the duo to a drive letter on the PC, you can find a number of PC tools that will work.
