    NAS server

    I'm planning on building a network attached storage server sometime soon, but there are two things I'm unsure about.

    1. Is there free software I can install on my computers that will automatically backup to my NAS server at scheduled times?

    2. I'm going to build a RAID 1 setup, but would like it to back up both my desktop (Windows) and my wife's Mac. Can I do this with two drives or would I need four, two for Windows RAID 1 and two for Mac RAID 1.

    3. If I can do both MAC and Windows, regardless of setup, is there software like in question 1 for Macs?

    Re: NAS server

    Well I am not a MAC enthusiast *shivers* but for question two yes it can be done with both MAC and PC. And here is an example not the best one out there but hay its an example. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822102030&cm_re=nas_raid-_-22-102-030-_-Product Windows, Mac OS, Linux/Unix is supported. Well if you buy a NAS they come with their own software.
