http://qnap.com/pro_detail_feature.asp?p_id=191 I am interested in the TS 112 since it MAY be able to run Bacula via some NSLU package "ipkg" magic. Apparently Qnap has a package manager called qpkg. qpkg has a package which installs ipkg and you can then use ipkg packages on many of Qnap's appliances. Whew! that wore me out. Anyways, here is the relevant page which shows how: http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=182&t=24858 The thing I like about the unit is that it consumes 7 watts. I'd want to compare that against a stock, boring Atom based system which can be put to sleep and woken at the flick of a cron job to perform the backups. I'm guessing the latter is more reliable over the long term. And I like boring. Anyone have any feeling on this?
