Thread: Which Backup to NAS with compression - can be stopped/started?

-

hi all

have irregular power live. prefer backup solution can stop , continue later.

i'm backing external hd (usb 3.0) onto nas (on fast ethernet). 1 thing backing 800 gb directory containing family photos, saved ebooks, notes, sorts of files. guess can save lot of space compression.

best backup solution me? thought of using tar (with compression). have problem backups have suspend/stop part way through.

started going through posts backup solutions, such rsync, i'm not knowledgeable enough evaluate these solutions. therefore throw myself upon wisdom of collective. please let me know solutions *won't* work me, @ least can @ possibles.

rsync work since updates files have changed since last backup. there lots of tutorials available different configurations. next investment should ups put nas, pc, , router on. many file formats compressed (music , photos example) not saving compression, adding backup risk.

a week ago in premiere pro cs6 world. one day updated windows, next day few .mp4 video files opened in premiere pro, played fine well, except fact display has green (sometimes multicolour, solid green block) bars in lower third of screen. see screenshot below.   these same files open/display fine in after effects, photoshop , vlc- , quicktime players. i'd read fromyears ago windows updates causing this, removed 1 of therecent kb's no avail. i did install adobemediaencodertrial_64-6.0.3-mul-adobeupdate and dynamiclinkmediaserverretail-1.0.1-mul-adobeupdate and reverted quicktime 7.6 but nothing makes difference.   in end, formatted c:\, reinstalled windows 7 ultimate 64bit , downloaded/installed 260 updates , reinstalled cs6 (and aforementioned ame , dlms updates , qt7.6) it's still same problem.   also tried exporting (part of) 1 of these files, see if wasn't display problem: exported file same properties original has green bars.   what else can do?   thanks in advanc
