Memeo Backup Premium for ReadyNAS
Included on the Installation CD that comes with the latest ReadyNAS (NVX, 2100, and 3200), Memeo Backup Premium for ReadyNAS is a comprehensive backup application that you install on your PC and Mac once and forget. The program runs in the background continuously, and any time you add or change a file, it’ll get backed up as soon as it can without interfering with the foreground tasks. When you need to retrieve the backup, simply right-click on the file to invoke Back In Time, and select the last saved version or any saved revision prior to that. It’s as simple as that, and best of all, it’s integrated with ReadyNAS auto-discovery so setting up your backup job is a piece of cake.

Using Symantec BackupExec with the ReadyNAS
The following is a pictorial how-to on getting Symantec Backup Exec™ working with the ReadyNAS. This how-to is based on Backup Exec 12.5, but you can use it as a general reference for other versions as well.
Time Machine restore from ReadyNAS
We had such a great response to our Easy Time Machine Setup with the ReadyNAS article that we’re following up with this how-to on restoring your Mac from a Time Machine backup on the ReadyNAS.
My MacBook Pro of 11 months was running out of space — yes, the original 250 GB disk just wasn’t cutting it anymore. I was down to my last 5 GB. I really didn’t want to waste time trying to see what I should delete as I knew I could use the new space for some additional VMs, so I went and ordered the largest available drive, a 500 GB.
Easy Time Machine Setup with the ReadyNAS
Back in April of 2008, our forum users came up with the inspiration for one of the most popular How-Tos on readynas.com: Making Time Machine work with the ReadyNAS. Even with 15 steps of instructions, some of them requiring the use of the Terminal shell session, our die-hard Mac users didn’t mind. The ability to use their ReadyNAS with RAID to store their backups was definitely worthwhile.
Online Backups with ReadyNAS Vault
February 25, 2009 – The use of a ReadyNAS is a great way to prevent data loss from disk failures, but if you want to prevent data loss from fire, theft, flood, or other disasters, you’ll need to also think offsite backup. There are a couple common ways of doing this — manually shuffling a USB disk back and forth to an remote location, and setting up two ReadyNAS to automatically perform daily online backups. The latter costs a little more, but automates the backups and reduces the chance of a human factor error.
A third option is now available with a new service called ReadyNAS Vault.
Drew Meyer has a brief overview of ReadyNAS Vault in the following video.
With ReadyNAS Vault, your ReadyNAS data can be backed up securely to a remote secure datacenter. Security is key here as your data is first encrypted before it is sent over wire. The datacenter itself is inside locked cages in a temperature-controlled facility with redundant power, connectivity, and fire/flood protections. Access is monitored and granted to authorized-personnel only. Backup administration is over 128-bit SSL connection, the same one used by banks and financial institutions.
Backup and restore a whole disk with Acronis True Image
This article was posted April 1, 2006 by luc from the ReadyNAS forum. True Image 9.0 was current at that time, however the how-to can be used as guidance with the latest True Image. Performance numbers will be different due to a different True Image software used as well as a different RAIDiator firmware for the ReadyNAS.

Versioning backups with Shadow for ReadyNAS Duo
Every now and then, a new technology comes along and you wonder why more people haven’t heard of it. In the area of backup, that technology I’m referring to is “Continuous Data Protection”, or CDP. Quite simply, CDP is a way to perform an almost real-time backup of your data on your computer and store every version of your data so you can pick and choose which version you wish to restore at a future time.
