I'm trying to backup my Mac drives to my QNAP NAS, but remotely. The connection on both sides are 150/150 megabit/s. Initially I tried AFP since that allows for sparsebundles (QNAP isn't HFS but sparsebundles get around that). But it was slow!! The only way I found to do it was A) tunneling over SSH [~1 megabit/s] or B) using L2TP [faster, ~6 megabit/s]. Problem is, for some reason, Carbon Copy Cloner (my backup solution) is running like molasses.
I tried FTP and NTP, but the file system problems (extended attributes, system files, DS_store problems) make it unbearable. I couldn't even get CCC to work consistently, so I haven't tested the speed.
Seeing as AFP works well enough on my local network, I would think it's the best solution once I pair it with the right 'secure' protocol, but what options do I have??
