DNS 327L remote backup and security
« on: September 03, 2014, 03:21:08 AM »
Hello,

I need some help with my DNS Storage.
Is there any possibility to make remote backup windows PC?
And how to put security code on DNS 327L because when I connect him on my network then all connected computers can see what is in it.

Do you mean the "Remote Backup" option in the web interface? This is based on the rsync protocol. Intended target systems are other D-Link NAS devices or Linux systems. For Windows, rsync is not really established. Yes, rsync is available for Windows but I think this might require some manual effort to get this working.

Do you want to make a backup Windows ==> NAS? Or NAS ==> Windows?
For Windows ==> NAS, you could use any windows backup software for this and specify the NAS as target.

Seems the configuration is bad. What groups and users did you configure on your NAS?

I want to make Windows to NAS backup but remote, like PC is in one city and NAS in another.

And I didn't make any users, I have only admin

In general, that's no problem. To mount the NAS as a Windows drive it does not matter if it is in the same house. In both cases, you just need to enter \\IP-address\sharename and enter the username and password. If the NAS is behind a router (as usual) you need to configure port forwarding for the SMB ports to the NAS.

But note that this will expose this will expose the NAS to many internet attack trials. If you have sensitive data on it, it would be better to leave SMB closed and install SSH (this has to be done manually via fun_plug) which allows encrypted file transfer.

This sounds you have the share public - that's why everyone can access it. You need to assign the share to a user with a password. Especially when you want to open it from the internet!

So, is that under "Remote backup" or "local backup"?
And is there any tutorial how to do that?

Yes, I change it and now is OK. Thanks ;)
