Drupal spam still there: drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/154123/…

Doorknob

what spam?

jadarnel27

I have been having fun this evening setting up automated backups to my new NAS from all my devices. I am a nerd.

hichris123

that sp.. oh. :P

@jadarnel27 I need an automated backup system. I have backups... but they're all manual & done ~2 months ago. What program are you using?

jadarnel27

@hichris123 That's the problem I was running into! All my backups were stale. And I would often get confused about what was backed up where, resulting in duplicated backups.

Jan Dvorak

03:14

duplicate backups seem like a good thing?

jadarnel27

I'm using a "My Cloud" NAS device from Western Digital. The continuous backup software is called "WD Smartware."

hichris123

oh okay.

I have a My Book.

Braiam

you all going with clouds and books, can't see the beauty of my dumpster

jadarnel27

@hichris123 You might be able to get the WD Smartware software for free, then. I think many of their devices come with a free license. When I installed the software, it automatically detected my device and granted me the license.

@Braiam Tell me more!

Doorknob

@jadarnel27 it's brown

hichris123

03:18

@jadarnel27 Yeah, I think I have it. I just never set it up since it's an external hard drive, so I can't really do automatic backups (it's not always plugged in, and not always on the same machine).

jadarnel27

@JanDvorak They were basically the same data on the same device, just in different folders. Not super helpful, in my case =)

@Doorknob I'm sold.

Jan Dvorak

ah.

jadarnel27

@hichris123 Ah, right. Yeah, that's why I splurged to upgrade to the NAS. Now I just have to be on my WiFi network, and my PC gets backed up automatically.

The cross-platform integration is cool as well. My wife's Macbook sees the NAS as a Time Machine backup target.

hichris123

I kinda wish Windows Backup was closer to Time Machine.
