Woo Hoo ! Got my EX475 last night :D It was an absolute piece of cake to setup... Even my DIR-655 router configured without a hitch. Now I'm in the process of moving data onto the MSS from my old reliable NSLU2 NAS.

So, now onto the serious stuff of using the MSS. 1st things 1st.... Client Backups.

I've left the default backup settings but was wondering about the "Automatic Backup Management" settings.

1. The number of months to keep a monthly backup I feel is a personal choice. 3 months seems OK for me.
2. However, shouldn't the number of weeks to keep a weekly backup not be 4 or 5 weeks (about 1 month?)
3. And again, shouldn't the number of days to keep a daily backup not be 7 minimum ?

The defaults seem a little low so am seeking some more experienced advise in this area. Anyone?

Cheers.

I think that's for the full backup. Once the full backup is complete, it does nightly backups.

Of course, I may be wrong since I haven't really played around with it.
