Don't have/want a second complete NAS system, so for now I'm backup up to hard drives. So what is the best way to get data onto an HD?
* could format NTFS, plug into windows, and drag-n-drop over network
** those backup drives could be read by any system which is convenient
** slooooow (100GB takes 3 hours, 2TB takes several days)
* could format ZFS, plug into NAS, blast data over esata
** drive only readable by OpenSolaris
** nice and fast to make backup
* format NTFS, plug into NAS, write via esata?
** does EON support NTFS write?
Ultimate decision: backup over network to windows box with NTFS filesystem - ability to easily access backups trumps everything else. If speed is demanded, set up Gb Ethernet between windows box and NAS.
Back up to disk attached to EON:
