Default Software Recommendation for NAS

Hi,

I'm running an NAS for backing up my PC and Laptop and am getting somewhat
frustrated with the Memeo software that came with it (crashing, not always
finding the NAS etc etc). Can anyone suggest a useful alternative (easy to
configure, reliable etc), I'm not adverse to freeware or commercial
software. I had a look at SynchToy but apparently it has known issues when
used with a NAS.....

Any help welcome

You are looking for backup software?

Excellent and only $29.95 - Second Copy from www.centered.com. I have used
this software for clients for many years, including backing up various
workstations to a NAS device. It just copies files, doesn't image.

Free, looks good, haven't tried it - GFI Backup. It seems similar to Second
Copy.

Acronis True Image - clones, images, and does incremental backups.

I have used Acronis True Image for awhile and like it a lot.
