Rsync compatible NAS device list

Hi all,

After about a month of investigation and testing, we’ve released our Rsync compatible NAS list. We searched far and wide for NAS devices that are Rsync enabled, and we managed to find 4 such devices.

Read about it in our Rsync compatible NAS report.

Each of these NAS devices can be easily configured to work with BackupAssist’s Rsync client, meaning that you can get a practically “off the shelf” solution for offsite backups. A small amount of configuration is required, but as you can see in the document, it’s overall pretty simple and a matter of “joining the dots”.

However, one NAS device came out on top – the QNAP devices – because they were the only device that supported Rsync over SSH. We’ll now be continuing with the QNAP device (which was so good, we bought one for ourselves) and running some further performance tests – from a in-file delta bandwidth efficiency viewpoint.

Enjoy this information, and feel free to leave any comments if you wish to share them with others.
