It goes in the /ffp/start directory - otherwise, all cron is lost during a reboot. Let me know if you need further assistance :) http://forum.dsmg600.info/t1150-Tutorial:-Backup-Everything-from-once-night.html see this post on how to set up ‘editcron.sh’ script for the dns323.

Would be very interested in the boto package for getting S3 working. We use the DNS323 as a small business backup solution, but would like to offsite it all as well. Thanks for this.

If you simply want to backup windows boxes that have a shared folder to the NAS, duplicity probably isn't the right tool. Storing encrypted backups on the same machine as the keys reside is a poor solution. Maybe you simply could use rsync + samba to mount each share and incrementally back it up? If you need incremental backups with history, rsnapshot or rdiff-backup are great!

I have a question thou. Is this method suitable for remote backups? i.e. I would like to setup my DNS-323 as the backup master that will perform the backup on folders located in my client PCs (I have three currently, one PC and one Notebook both running Vista, another notebook running XP). How I see it being implemented is as follows: Setup cron jobs in DNS-323 that will trigger a backup program to run on the box. The box will attempt to connect to each client PC's folders (via shared setup specifically for the backup) and do the necessary (backups are stored on the DNS-323). Nothing should be running or installed on the client side. The reason for this is to simplfy backup administration and deployment. Can duplicity help in this case? Hi,
