Backup from NAS on Mac

Posted by: Dungassin on 25 May 2014

I've done my "due diligence" and searched the forums and t'interweb, but can't find the answer to this one.

Previously been using Syncback Pro to backup my NAS drives. After all, can't risk losing all my FLAC files, SWMBO's photos etc etc.

Searching hard for a similar program to run on Mac OS Mavericks 10.9, and the closest thing I've found so far is ChronoSync. However, there is no mention in its documentation of "verify". If it won't verify I might just as well try and figure out my NAS drives' own backup utilities, which have always seemed rather obscure to me!

Any suggestions (and no, Time Capsule won't backup from a NAS, as far a I can see)

Try the followings

1) Control -> Ease of access -> Make the mouse easier to use -> Activate window by hovering the mouse over it

It is not as good and intuitive as the MacOS, but it can alleviate some frustrations.
