I have a question about syncing 2 network drives.
Say I have a NAS that has 2 bays. On my PC, Bay1 is mapped to drive M and Bay2 is mapped to Drive N. The drives are setup as separate drives, no RAID or other protocols.
Drive M has my music library, and Drive N has most of it, but a lot is missing since I last synced the drives. The music files are not fluid data, so manually syncing every few weeks is fine.
My question is, since I am on my PC and using a program like FreeFileSync, if I sync M to N, does the data ever flow out of the NAS, like to the router and/or PC, or would the files update internally in the NAS?
I hope I explained my question ok. I am hoping the data wouldn't flow through the network and PC, but if so, what would be the better efficient way to manually or occasionally sync 2 NAS drives?
Thanks!
