NAS (Networks Attached Storage) drives have been around for quite some time and so have online backup services but strangely it is incredibly difficult to combine the two. I own drives from Iomega and Buffalo but so far it has been impossible to find a reliable service that allows me to backup my NAS drives without installing software on my computer.
Why can’t Iomega install Mozy (which is also owned by EMC) on the NAS drives they sell? I know there are some hacks to make backups from a NAS to Amazon’s S3, but I would much rather make use of the space I have at Mozy.
*rant over* 🙂 Oh, and I would love suggestions in the comments for a NAS which can do automatic independent online backups!
I’m with you on this one! I’ve been using Carbonite for last 3 years but I am forced to sync my external HD with WinXP’s internal drive. I would much rather own a NAS drive that backs up directly to an online backup service, whether Mozy, Carbonite or other. It makes perfect sense.
Much piece of content. I just stumbled upon your blog and even wanted to point out that I have really enjoyed reading your blog posts. Any way I’ll be subscribing to your feed and thus I hope you piece of content consistently in a little while.
Website – I necessity mention, impressed with your site. I had no trouble navigating through all the tabs plus important info seemed to be particularly easy to access. I find what I yearned-for without delay in the slightest. Much brilliant. Are going to appreciate it if you ever add community forums something like that, it may be a best suited way for your shoppers to interact. Fantastic task..
Good idea! Can be considered a learned thing, ok.
Valuable info. Lucky me I found your site by accident, I bookmarked it.
Hey, interesting post! bookmarked 🙂
Wow whered you go to college Harvard, lol, newayz your a great writer, any tips?
Right on Brother, great layout, nice opinions, fantastic blog. one in a million. 🙂
Why not using Amazon S3? It’s cheap. And it works. QNAP NAS can backup or syncronize it’s files with Amazon S3 right out of the box.
@RL Thanks for the tip, I will have a look at the QNAP NAS in combination with Amazon S3!
