Next up was GFI Software’s GFI Backup – Home Edition. And since that made it hard for me to tell whether a backup had really been successful, I reluctantly shut it down and moved on. And the backup ran really, really fast!īut for some reason, GoodSync insisted that there were thousands of errors in each backup due to its inability to set "file attributes to normal".

Scheduling was flexible enough and included a "Periodically" mode that ran the jobs on a scheduled period that seemed to operate independently of the Windows scheduler. I liked the Analyze mode, which performed a dry run without copying so that you could see what was going to be done. Setup was easy with a helpful wizard that was easy to use. First up was Siber Systems’ GoodSync, which I really liked.

GFI BACKUP SCHEDULER SERVICE NOT RUNNING FREE

So I hit the SNB Forums and started working through the free backup program recommendations found there (hey, I like free as much as anyone!). But the scheduled backups were at most once per day and I definitely didn’t want monitored backups due to their overhead. Both QNAP’s NetBak Replicator and Synology’s Data Replicator 3 could do both monitored (immediate) and scheduled backups. I’d tried the free ones that Synology and QNAP include with their products awhile back. The real work started when it came time to choose a backup application. And I was able to schedule a once-a-day incremental rsync backup of the QNAP to the Synology without a problem. QNAP’s 3.1.īut once QNAP gets around to issuing 3.2 firmware for its older Marvell-based products, the two will be equal enough. I probably should have swapped their roles, given the Synology’s higher performance and especially given Synology’s better backup features in its DSM 2.2 OS vs. Since the QNAP was already doing media serving, I decided to make it the primary NAS and use the Synology as an rsync backup target.

But I didn’t have either of those on long-term loan from Iomega, while I did have the QNAP TS-109 Pro and a Synology DS109+ on hand. But, to date, only Iomega has made the move and added the ability to back up to and from SMB shares to its ix4-200d and ix2-200. I’d been waiting for other NAS vendors to copy the ReadyNAS’ backup tricks, so that I could retire the NV+ and move to a speedier NAS. But I was just having a hard time breaking away from the NV+’s built-in backup capabilities. I had already moved its SqueezeCenter duties over to an old QNAP TS-109 Pro that I have on long-term loan. And the few backup apps that I’d tried were either too clunky, too slow or both.īut the NV+ had been acting kind of strange of late and it is pretty slow. I’d come to rely on the NV+’s ultra-flexible built-in backup capability, which can back up pretty much anything to or from anything else.

The main thing that caused me to put off making a change was my reluctance to install a backup client on my main Windows-based work machine. But it did the job just fine as a network share that the NV+ ran scheduled backups to every few hours during each work day. The Linkstation is so old that it doesn’t even have any backup capability. But had I left two drives in and configured them in a single RAID 1 volume. Since my storage needs are under 100 GB (no, that’s not a typo!), I could easily have dropped down to a single 250 GB Seagate 7200.8 drive in the NV+. But after a drive died on me, I decided to simplify and switch over to standard RAID. I originally started out with the NV+ in XRAID2. (See Smart SOHOs Don’t Do RAID.)īut here I was, using an aging NETGEAR ReadyNAS NV+ in RAID 1 as my main NAS and backing up to an even older Buffalo HD-H120LAN LinkStation. I’ve long been an advocate of avoiding RAID if possible and backing up one NAS to another for data security.

But this past weekend, I finally made long-planned changes in the backup routine here at SmallNetBuilder.
