Hello
1) I put all my data on one disk and knocked it over (pretty silly) 2) I then got two x2 internal HDD which I did a copy each night from one to the other 3) Then I went to x2 external HDD same copy setup
I really would like a proper NAS solution but am confused as to what selection criteria I need
I am pretty sure I want RAID 1 - mirror backup
I am pretty sure I want ethernet not USB
I don't understand what I need to have installed on an openSUSE box to talk to a NAS ?
There is windows node name type sharing ? Confused.
I really want it on my LINUX PC because I want to back up log files and sql tables.
Andrew Hi I'm running a Linksys NAS200 it's cheap (lol) the network isn't fast but fine for my needs to store data on external mirrored drives. I hook up an external harddrive via the USB port for an off-site backup.
I can also turn on the media server which talks to the xbox360 for watching home videos, view pictures etc. I run a modified version of the OS from http://www.linksysinfo.org/forums/showthread.php?t=62587 It's running the defaults, but can add NFS and other filesystems by adding the modules. It defaults to xfs so can pull a drive and attach to a linux machine. -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE 11.3 (x86_64) Kernel 2.6.34-12-default up 2 days 23:43, 2 users, load average: 0.12, 0.06, 0.01 GPU GeForce 8600 GTS Silent - Driver Version: 256.44 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
