Title: Setting up a remote mirrored storage location
Post by: jwstimac on March 27, 2015, 03:57:15 PM
I am interested in setting up a mirror of the TeraStation that we use in the office with a TeraStation or storage device at a remote location so that my boss can work from home. I say mirror because we want the changes he makes at home to be reflected in the office and the changes made at the office to be reflected at his home. We are also interested in doing the same thing but with an online location or "Cloud" solution. So three mirrored locations. The mirroring or updating could occur periodically, preferably every night. Is this possible? We are open to suggestions and our existing equipment can be upgraded if necessary.

We have the following
(1) Buffalo TeraStation HS-DH1.0TGL/R5 (700GB total w/ 73% full so might need to be replaced or upgraded)
(2) Western Digital My Book Live 2TB

We use the TeraStation and one of the WD My Book Live in the office. The WD has acted as a backup but it has been a manual backup which we have not stayed on top of. The other WD My Book Live lives at my bosses house.

Again, we are open to suggestions including new equipment. We do mostly documents and graphic design so large storage (greater than 4TB) is not really necessary.

Also, is it an easy process to replace the drives on the TeraStation with larger capacity ones? Or does it make more sense, economically and efficiency wise, to just buy a whole new TeraStation?

Thanks in advance for any help.
