Using ReadyNAS NV+as a backup
Hi, :?: I deliberately want to use my ReadyNas NV+ ver 1 as a backup storage area on our home network. It is fitted with two drives, and initially was setup using xRaid. But is that actually t...
Makes sense.
I strongly recommend a UPS for the NAS (one that it can monitor via USB). Unexpected shutdowns can corrupt the data volume, and a UPS is cheap protection against that threat.
The NV+ v1 can be set up to do incremental backup to an attached USB drive using rsync. Performance is quite slow though, especially if the USB drive is formatted as NTFS. ext is faster (but of course requires a linux system to read it). The built-in backup is simply file copies - there is no versioning.
