I'd like to store a hard drive in my detached shed and use it to backup to (using KeepVault's local backup function). Can a second wireless router (that has a USB port for the hard drive) be used out in the shed to connect to my main wireless router in the house? Or can wireless networks not be configured in this way?
I suppose this is more a networking question rather then MSS related...
Thanks,
Jamie
It definitely wouldn't be supported, but you might be able to get it to work. It would really depend on the wireless router w/ USB port. You would have to (in theory) set your second wireless router to bridge/bypass mode (so that it's not a router at all, just a network device on your LAN), then set up a copy routine to copy the data from your server to the IP address of your router (which would then hopefully automatically store data on the drive). I've never heard of a router that has a USB port for data storage, but that would be one possible way of doing it. However, why not just use the backup app included in WHS, then walk the drive out to your shed? To be honest, you should take the backup drive off-site anyway.
