Hello Stephen, you mean with 'locally attached' the nas usb or a pc usb? We have at the moment around 1.6Tb of data. We are backing up essential stuff trough the only functional AFP folder (Transmission). We copy a folder on the gui and paste it on transmission folder. Then it's accessible on Gnu/linux. The copy is taking less than 1mb/sec on a pc installed hd (not usb). We're planning on buying the WD My Passport Ultra 2Tb which is usb 3.0 anyway.

I meant attached to the NAS USB. With 1.6 TB of data and USB 3.0, you should be able to copy your data in less than 2 days. Network backup should be faster than what you are seeing, but of course we know something is seriously wrong. Whatever is slowing your network speeds might also impact USB backup too - the only way to find out is to try it.

BTW, make sure snapshots are not user-visible before you do the USB backup. Alternatively, turn snapshots off and delete all the ones you have on the NAS.

BTW2, it sounds like you have linux skills. It is possible to mount the btrfs data volume on a linux system (if mdadm and btrfs are installed), by attaching one of the RN102 disks to the SMB or USB port of the other linux system. Might be worth considering, it would certainly be faster once you get it set up. You could also look at the OS partition that way.
