Alright so I am aiming to get myself one of these guys, I could get something to share my Drobo but I need something with a bit faster speeds(4-5 computers accessing this share).

So what I want to do is basically this:

Cable Modem--->Wireless Router-->Computers & Time Capsule-->Drobo

Alright, so that should be fairly straightforward, what I intend to do is run a one-to-one backup of my Time Capsule once weekly to my Drobo(it's got 4HDDS, nice and redundant) and store all of my backups(both Windows via a 3rd party app and Time Machine for my laptop) on it along with my movies/music/tv shows.


Now from what I have read it would seem that this works just fine, but I am at a loss as to how I can manage to sync these two drives. Would it be doable with rsync or something similar? I would prefer it to be a change-based sync so that it does not simply copy over what is on the Drobo(I ripped about 90% of my dvd library to the drobo so I am over 1TB of just movies atm). If anyone could enlighten me on this I'd be really appreciative.
