Hi

I recently bought a Linkstation Pro Duo (off here) and have set it up as RAID1 but I want to use it in conjunction with my other NAS drive which has all my music files; photographs to ensure that I have two copies of each file. I ultimately want to then create a 3rd copy using an external drive which I can keep at a friends (I'd probably back up to this drive monthly)

What software can i buy that can be confgured to auto back up from one NAS to another (and ultimately the ext. drive) intuitively [sp] i.e. only what has changed?

I tried the Memeo software that came with the Pro Duo but could only get this to back up my laptop to a NAS drive not one NAS to another

I tried a trial of Acronis True Image a while back but this has expired and now I have the two NAS' I can't download another trial as it says my trial has expired!


Thanks in advance
Adrian
 
Are you using either of your NAS devices to store data that is not on any of your laptops/desktops?
 
Or if they are both Linkstations, use the scheduled backup that is built into the devices.

Yes

Apart from a back up of what is on my laptop -a few docs etc. everything is stored on my NAS
 
Thanks for the other replies

I'll look into allsync and the scheduled back up
Not sure what I need to do with Robocop so will also read up on that one!!

Robocopy source folder target folder file mask /e /z /XC /XN /XO (/MIR if you want to mirror)

EG.

Robocopy \\nas1\files \\Nas2\files *.nef /e /z /XC /XN /XO to just copy the files. You can omit the file mask if copying all files.

/MIR will delete files on NAS2 that are not on NAS1 so be wary.

Microsoft's Synctoy is an easy to use free backup solution, it's not as powerful as Robocopy but dead easy to setup.

If you want to automate things, create a bat file with the robocopy command line and set it a a Scheduled Task.
