HP MediaSmart Server ex475
http://www.hp.com/united-states/camp...ver_macosx.pdf
Hi, someone showed me this the other day. I'm wondering if I purchased this could I use 2, 1TB hard Drives in it and then just take out one of the hard drives and store it offsite or does it need both to work. Are the drives "mirrored" or does it copy the same data to both drives? Please explain if you can.
PDF Page #9 -
"Systems running Mac OS X will not be backed up by Windows Home Server. However, a user may
still back their files up to the HP MediaSmart Server, either manually (using drag and drop copying or
Applescript) or by third-party software that performs backups to a SMB filesystem." ? HP
1. Can someone please tell me if they know of any "Mac" software to allow me to "Automatically Backup" my data to the HP Server?
2. My biggest priority is to be able to take one of the 1TB hard drives and store it off site in case of fire etc. HP says the drives are "hot-swappable" meaning you can remove them while operating but can someone please explain to me how these servers work. Does the HP copy or "mirror" data to the drives or separately to each drive and would I be able to remove a drive to store off-site and still use the remaining drive(s)?
