I would like to have a NAS with a FTP backup client built-in.
The operation would be like this:
- you copy your files to the NAS by ftp, shared folder or any way
- the built-in software on the firmware will make a second backup of this data trough ftp to another server
- it would have the options to do incremental, delta, mirror types of backup so only new files will be sent to the server
with this functionality you have:
- a second copy of your data phisically outside your office
- for laptops you only have to make one copy of your data using your network, then you can leave, it does not matter if the second backup will take several hours or days to complete
- if you got your NAS stolen or damaged (like a fire) you have your data secure in a remote server
I know you can backup the LS to anotherone on the network but then you will need to setup a NAS device in other place, and with this ftp solution you can buy some ftp space on the cloud.
what do you think about it?
