Hello backuppc-users,
I would like to backup all the machines of my company (12 laptops,
Windows/Mac/Linux) in a centralized way on a NAS device.
I like a lot BackupPC and if possible I would like to use it to
run the backups.
Now comes the choice of the NAS... What NAS device would you
recommend with a good ratio "performance / easy to install
BackupPC on it" ?
The ideal situation would be a NAS with BackupPC pre-installed -
or a NAS with some available BackupPC packages ready to deploy.
I looked at Synology / QNap / WD Sharespace but in each case the
install of BackupPC seems tedious, and I'm not sure of the
performances I will get on such devices...
Thanks for your advices and your help

I use the small and simple Netgear Readynas Duo with backuppc
running on my Ubuntu server. I went with this solution as I thought
it would be easy and problem free. If I was to do it today I would
have gone with a dedicated Lunux-server with backuppc on it and no
NAS at all. With a simple NAS as I have you will get tied down with
limitations on different things. (One irritation with my NAS is that
it won´t power up after a power failure) Maybe a larger and more
robust NAS will have less limitations but will also cost more.
So, why the NAS? Have you considered a dedicated server instead? It
will perhaps be harder to setup but you will get all the help you
need from the Linux/Unix community and here.
Kind regards
