first and foremost it will be for off-site back-up/retrieval of images from a local computer/laptop running windows over wifi (hence the need for a secure tunnel) with the remote nas attached via a gigabit router. the backup batches range anywhere from 0.5 to a couple of gig each and the plan is...

yes thank you. i did come across that page and tried following the instructions but as i couldn't get rsync to run (see my previous post) this hopefully will be just the nugget i need. thanks neil

like yourself backing up locally isn't a problem but it's another can of worms broaching the net hence rsync. on a side note i had downloaded what i thought was rsync (via samba) but couldn't get the terminal to show up like i could with putty. i was just about to post a question to you...

yes netgear nvx. they do have an ssh enable add-on but activating this invalidates the warranty. you're correct in that rsync is built into the box (or possibly added through newer firmware) but surely you need root in order to access rsync?

digital art they may be but still a distinct take on shooting cars. were you assisting or working as a digi operator?

so does that mean canon uk will accept the camera and carry out the repair in the uk or do they ship it back to kerso?

it's a readynas neil. bought a couple of years ago and couldn't then get it to work efficiently so put it back in its box! have you got an up and running working nas system working?

thank you very much for that explanation. you make it sound so easy! perhaps if you've come from a terminal/coding background or invested the time to learn about it then maybe, but the last couple of weeks have been me drilling down through eye-watering chunks of information on the topic and to...

actually that's my morning's education seen to thank you. schadenfreude; what a marvelous word! nowhere near as brittle as our tenuously equivalent sadist and in fact, spoken through the tones of a calm and deeply resonant male, almost invokes an ironic compassion for those possibly inflicted by...

it's a great combination; the head is solid and very flexible plus it's very stable fully extended. sure it depends upon the weight of the lens/camera you're using but definitely recommended. in fact fully extended, you might want to make sure you've got a ladder big/stout enough!

ooh. makes me flinch seeing stuff all bent up like that. incidentally how did the tamron compare with the nikon on iq and af speed at low light?

took my eye off the ball a bit this morning and found myself skimming past your thread. military.com eh? thankfully the pilots were both on the sunny side of luck. with the world that we covet watching and waiting to see just what we can do, i wonder how many photographers given their stage...

quite possibly but i'll need to check a few things first. i found this on rsync just in case anybody else is interested but looks like it will require a fair bit of reading and commitment to understand things. looks interesting though so thank you

1gb despite sensor sizes of today's cameras is still a fair amount of images and 10mins whilst being able to go off and attend to something else would be perfectly acceptable. have you tried this or just as you inferred, done the maths?

can anybody recommend any efficient sync software (either hosted on windows or osx) for backing up data off-site where the transfer/upload speed is close to that of your isp's rate? ideally what i'm looking for is software recommendations people use to sync/make off-site backups to a NAS box as...
