how to backup without login (NFS vs SMB/AFP)
Hi, just bought a ReadyNAS 312 but not sure yet about some basic principles. I wish to use it mainly as a backup destination but also as the main source for Crashplan backups. In detail I won't be installing Crashplan headlessly on the NAS (totally unsupported) but I'd rather install on my computer which is then connected to the NAS through my line (just check, Crashplan support backups of nas attached files). What I don't understand is how can automatically make sure that Crashplan can see the files at all the time.. I may think that this must be easy with Linux computers and NFS. I just need to configure the shares to be automatically mounted at every boot, right? What about Mac computers, is the same achievable with SMB/AFP so that I don't have to login all the time under Finder. I know these questions sound a bit silly, but it's the first time I use a "serious" NAS. To be honest: soon or later we'll back only Linux boxes in the house, but at this stage we can't yet get rid of an Apple computers. Many thanks for any suggestionSolved
