Hi Robbie et al,
Thanks for your QNAP 1st-time set-up videos. Learning a lot, and it's a tough slog.
NAS is QNAP TS453D, 4x4TB drives. Host computer is HP desktop, Windows 10. Initially 1 user (me). Later will add other devices and users. Thanks to Video #1 I have created one storage pool (4 disks), RAID 5, and 3 volumes, created and mapped 1 shared folder.
Next step (?) is to populate the NAS with “all” my data from the host computer, and to set up a means of keeping it up to date. I think (thanks to Video #2) I need to install and use Qsynch. Right? Wrong?? How should the data be copied to the NAS?
And, in plain language, what does “synch” actually mean? What is the source; what is the destination; what gets deleted when you “synch”? What are the rules for updates and deletions? I want the computer file to be the master; the NAS to be the backup file. Appreciate any explanation you can give, or you can point to me to.
Regards,
Paul
