Hi everyone. I've just gotten a DNS-323 and am very happy with it so far but have a few questions. I'm a bit of a linux n00b but have installed ffp to have a play and look into doing a more efficient backup system than RAID1.. If anybody could help me out with these questions, I'd appreciate it! :
1) Chkbutton2 do I really need this? I don't understand why it wasn't included in ffp if it is so important?
2) I still don't quite understand the rsync script preserving older files / syncing changes etc... For example, if I had a file and replaced it one day then wanted to go and retrieve the original from 10 days ago (but rsync had been running every night) what would I do?
3) What is stopping people integrating the new ffp functionality / shutdown scripts etc with the existing web interface?
4) The Xbox 360 seems to hate filenames longer than around 70-80 characters and with weird names. Can I configure the uPnP server to truncate / rename these?
5) I'd kind of like to get an ftp log running - Is there any reason I shouldn't (why didn't D-Link switch this on?).. How can I find out what command / parameters pure-ftpd is being started with by the original firmware (so I can modify this?)
Er.. that's all for now!

rsync has a ton of options, and can be used in many different ways. The wiki has two versions:
(*) One to perform simple backups on a schedule - that way if you changed/deleted a file you have till the next backup run to return to the backup.
(*) Take advantage of *nix's file-system's hard-linking feature to take snapshots on a schedule. Now if you change/delete a file, you can always go back to one of your snapshots and restore it. Only new and changed files will take up HDD space. There's a little overhead for the hard-linking thing, of course.

It's an embedded web server running it. I checked this out once myself. See the discussion here:
