Re: Backing up N5200 to external USB drive

Well it is - also on the N2100 if you installed the rsync module. But wasnt rsync designed to do those incremental backup jobs over the net? Doesn't it calculate md5sums before actually starting to copy things around? For N2100 this is too much cpu-consuming... For the CeleronM of the N5200 it might not be that large of a problem. I agree. But it still blows up the time needed a great bit.

When using rsync also take care it doesnt zip the files before the transmission (which would be a transmission inside the RAM).

Hardware mods:
# they void your warranty
# they may seem to work, but kill your machine later on
# they are mostly unneeded, because the engineers who built a machine knew what they were doing...
