Using DNS-323 like MESH or DROPBOX solution?
« on: March 28, 2010, 11:51:07 AM »
Hi All,

I am looking for possibility to using DNS-323 as tool to have synchronized files between my two computers.
My configuration is:
1. NAS DNS-323
2. Linksys router with DD-WRT installed (have configured openVPN)
3. Two PC computers

Does anybody can show me correct way how to have functionality like this: I connect "PC 1" to my home network it automatically synchronize one folder with data on DNS-323. After every change I made on "PC 1" files are automatically synchronized with DSN-323. Every time I connect my "PC 2" it automatically synchronize folder with data from DNS-323 or if data on "PC 2" are newer are synchronized with this data (same story with "PC 1").
It seems little bit complicated but I am going to have my private small solution like MS MESH or DROPBOX.
Maby there is another solution to have always automatically (I repeat automatically - not manually using MS SyncToy or some backup software) synchronized two folders on PC not directly connected?

Best wishes

Just so that you know - SyncToy can be scheduled to run automatically, and I believe can do exactly what you wish.

RAID1 is for disk redundancy - NOT data backup - don't confuse the two.

Thank You for reply,

Yes I know it can be scheduled but how to set it to synchronize after connecting computer? When I connect PC I need wait too next schedule or run it manually. In Mesh or Dropbox it is done automatically - when you connecting PC it just starting synchronizing, you do not need thinking about it.
