My Stuff
Win7 Desktop
Win7 Laptop
ReadyNas Duo 2x500GB Mirrored?
WD My Book Essential External Hard Drive - 2TB
PS3
What do I Want?
To Backup Desktop (wired)/(Laptop Wireless)
Rip Blu-ray/DVD (movie only) & stream via homeplugs to a media player, poss Dune TV301 with a nice fancy front end like My Movies or Zappiti. At present I use PS3 to watch my DVD rips stored on my NAS.
What Have I Been Doing
Mainly used Acronis for backup but 2011/12 version has brought nothing but problems.
I probably have too many Blu-rays/DVDs which once ripped will take me past the 2TB mirrored limit of my ReadyNas Duo. Plus the amount of Compatible HDDs is now limited and quite expensive.
What are my Thoughts?
I have been thinking about buying the HP N40L Micro server, (followed topic on this forum) and using WHS 2011 with FlexRAID for protection and PC/Laptop BackUp. I would then use my 2TB external Hard Drive to keep a copy of my PC/Laptop BackUp as further protection.
Or, Should I just buy 2x2TB HDDs and use them as a 2+2 = 4TB configuration knowing thats as far as I can expand my ReadyNas Duo?
