Hi all,
Just looking for some advice. I have a LG nas, setup in raid 1 (2x 2tb)
I have been working through my DVDs ripping them to MKV to use via the nas on my WD TV, and realised that raid isn't a backup solution....go on, I know..... Noob!
Anyway, I have plugged in an external 2tb drive into the nas, and am currently backing it up, and Comodo says its going to take 3 days!!!! To do 1.7Tb of data, which seems a terribly long time. So I'm thinking I must be doing something wrong???
If I'm going to have a regular full backup, and then weekly incremental ones, should I configure the NAS as jbod, and back that up?
What benefits does raid give other than hardware redundancy in raid 1 and is it worth it if all I'm using it for is streaming?
The second question is anyone know why its sooooo slow...? It's wired network, 1gb on the nas and the pc. I know it will be transferring to the pc to send it back to the USB on the nas, and is limited to USB speeds, but it looks like its going around 9mb a second, which doesn't sound right?
What I'm thinking now is,
1. Re configure the nas as 2 x 2tb volumes and backup the data to the 2nd volume? Shouldn't that give better data security?
2. Forget the 2tb USB hdd as a backup medium.
Any help, suggestions or laughter greatly appreciated!!
Thanks
