What brought me here is that my current home backup server (WD DX4000) has been eating HDDs for too many years, and I've finally had it with the expense and hassle. I bought it back when I worked for WDC, and I got it for cheap. It seems that machine is always in a state of rebuilding its array, along with chewing up my bank account. Yes- I'm a geek and that is why I use a domain at home to manage all the machines my family has. I travel a lot for work, and this makes it easier for me to deal with when I get a text saying "Daddy help!", and I'm stuck in a hotel across the globe.
So anyhow, I have (hopefully) moved up in the world of NAS widgets by going to this ASUS device. I have stuffed it full of 5GB drives and have several arrays present. One is an iSCSI array that does backup for my SBS server. (combination of Exchange, domain & web services) The other will be used for "everything else" which includes file services, backup and DLNA. I'm still trying to get the client SW for backup to work right, but I will figure that out eventually. Anyone with experience here, I'd appreciate your help.
My name? I play guitar and my two favorites are my Rainsong acoustic and Telecaster.
