The NV+ NAS has a neat little "backup" button on the front that will allow you to plug in a USB drive into the port of the front of the NAS, hit the button and it copies everything on the NAS to the USB drive.

"Copy to another home NAS style system" seems to be the general answer. You can just use Unison or rsync or ROBOCOPY or whatever. Some of the NAS boxes expose their OS, which let you install/run such tools natively, which lets you run sync protocols over the wire, which can speed things up considerably. There's something called rsync-snapshot that lets you keep many snapshots of a filesystem without needing full copies of everything, but I think it only works for *nix. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
