heehee62 Posted March 24, 2014 Report Share Posted March 24, 2014 I installed btsync on my mybooklive NAS. I don't want it to cause my NAS to always be thinking. I'm using a full access secret between my laptop folder and NAS. Does is make any difference in terms of how often my NAS will be "thinking" if I have my NAS be the "source" instead of the laptop folder? I see I can set rescan interval preference on my laptop but I can't with my mybooklive NAS. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandymac Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I haven't used a WD My Book Live but a few obvious points to me:Running BTSync from your laptop will consume gobs of network activity as files are indexed.Running BTSync from your My Book Live means you can sync to/from your NAS when your laptop is off but the NAS is on.

RomanZ Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 heehee62, After adding a folder to BTSync and initial scan (=hashing all the data) BTSync is not going to consume lots of CPU power and it does not depend would it be on NAS or on Laptop. Also, on NAS (=Linux-based OS) you can configure your BTSync via config file instead of WebUI - this will give you an ability to set advanced preferences, like folder rescan interval.

wimbit Posted April 1, 2014 Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 I have over 500 GB on MyBookLive with the higher workload Encrypted Read Only secrets and it runs fine. No issues yet with the MyBookLive having to work too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
