I have a customer that I consult for, and they are interested in a NAS. I've leveraged ReadyNas's since the days before NetGear, love the devices.
The one BIG requirement for this solution is a cloud based backup solution. I can't - from the documentation - determine what cloud backup solution are "natively" supported by the ReadyNas OS.
What I mean by that is, I do NOT want to manually install a backup plug in or application via the OS, why? I don't want support it or have additional break/fix work with the ReadyNas OS is upgraded.
That said, I want the ReadyNas to interface with a Cloud provider (i.e. DropBox, Carbonite etc.) via the ReadyNas Interface. The functionality (that I am looking for) is simple. Maintain (in real time) all files on the ReadyNas in a cloud backup folder. Period.
Since I don't own a ReadyNas anymore, and the documentation is slim, and the forum seems to focus more on installing java apps via the OS, I thought I questions the experts to provide some direction on the "real" functionality of the NAS.
That said, I want the ReadyNas to interface with a Cloud provider (i.e. DropBox, Carbonite etc.) via the ReadyNas Interface.
The ReadyNAS OS 6 models like RN314 allows you to easily back up data from your system to your Dropbox account. Kindly check page 235-236 of the ReadyNAS OS 6 software manual: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/ ... ec2014.pdf
Dropbox, IDrive, and ReadyNAS Vault are natively supported. Others are available with a bit of tinkering. I have found the Vault to be the most expensive of the three, but prices fluctuate from month to month. I would check before each setup to get the client the best rate.
