The user guide is very clear that I can setup one NAS 220 as a server, and the other NAS 220 as a client, when they are on the same network. That way, I can back-up one NAS to another NAS.
But what if I locate the primary NAS 220 in the office and the secondary NAS 220 in my house? Can they connect to each other over the Internet and perform differential back-ups?
I want the safety of two locations that are 15 miles apart (I'm in a hurricane area). And, I want faster access to the files at home when I work from home.
Right now, the Seagate Global Access feature has been a total disappointment. It's much faster for me to use logmein.com and access the office desktop computer remotely, go to the NAS, drag a file to upload and email the file to myself. Can you believe that? From my laptop at home, I'm accessing the desktop at the office over the internet, to access the NAS. That's three devices I'm having to access to do the work of one device. Sad to say, remote access is where my NAS 220 has been a complete failure because Seagate Global Access is so slow that it just isn't worth my time.
To me, the best scenario is automatic data mirroring between my office and home site. Even if the NAS 220 were to perform diffential back-up of its shares to a specific folder in my home laptop over the internet, I would be very happy.
Please help.
