Terrastation - Duplicate data on JBOD

[pkroker]

I have a Dual drive TeraStation configured with the drives in JBOD.  Everything is working correctly. I would like to periodically duplicate the contents of one drive into the other, hopefully in an automated way. Is this even possible with the standard firmware. I am not interested in RAID because I don't need the complexity of XFS raids as well as I require portability.  Other than maybe using a telnet enabled firmware with a cron, is there any other way to accomplish this with the vanilla stock firmware?.

 

Thanks

What's the model number and firmware if your unit? You should be able to run an automated backup from one disk to another from system - backup.

Thanks for the reply davo. It is a TS-WXL running firmware 1.59.   When creating an automated backup job, it only gives me USB1 as a suitable target (Whether there is a drive plugged there or not).  I can select the 2nd disk as a source but never as a target. It would be really nice to have this option.

Click shared folders - select the share that is on HDD2 - make sure "Disk Backup" is ticked beside shared folder support. That share should now appear as a destination for the backup.

Thank you so much. That did it.
