Hello backuppc-users,

I would like to backup all the machines of my company (12 laptops, Windows/Mac/Linux) in a centralized way on a NAS device.
I like a lot BackupPC and if possible I would like to use it to run the backups.

Now comes the choice of the NAS... What NAS device would you recommend with a good ratio "performance / easy to install BackupPC on it" ?

The ideal situation would be a NAS with BackupPC pre-installed - or a NAS with some available BackupPC packages ready to deploy.
I looked at Synology / QNap / WD Sharespace but in each case the install of BackupPC seems tedious, and I'm not sure of the performances I will get on such devices...

Thanks for your advices and your help

I use the small and simple Netgear Readynas Duo with backuppc running on my Ubuntu server. I went with this solution as I thought it would be easy and problem free. If I was to do it today I would have gone with a dedicated Lunux-server with backuppc on it and no NAS at all. With a simple NAS as I have you will get tied down with limitations on different things. (One irritation with my NAS is that it won´t power up after a power failure) Maybe a larger and more robust NAS will have less limitations but will also cost more.

So, why the NAS? Have you considered a dedicated server instead? It will perhaps be harder to setup but you will get all the help you need from the Linux/Unix community and here.

Kind regards
