[Digikam-users] what do you use for backups?

[Gilles Caulier]

At home, i use a NAS connected to 100Mb ethernet through power supply. An
rsync script synchronize at 4:00AM a copy from host computer to the NAS
using a smb mount (300Gb). You just need to take a care about the SMB mount
options for file naming (UTF8, long file name, rights. etc...) The NAS can
be acceded through WIKI by a MAC and a Windows to show images through FS.
The NAS support also UPNP, so you can display image with a tablets or a
phone.
