Replacing Netbook with Raspberry Pi
I currently run Cumulus on a netbook running Windows 7 Pro connected to my VP2 and I also use the netbook to run a few other tasks, one of which is to Robocopy some files as a backup over a Rasdial VPN connection from a remote Synology NAS to a local Synology NAS under a scheduled process.
When Steve launches the new version of Cumulus, I would love to replace the netbook with a Raspberry, but not knowing much about Linux at this stage, would it be possible to still carry this task out on the Raspberry under Linux?
Cheers

Re: Replacing Netbook with Raspberry Pi
I don't see why not, you'll have to use different utilities of course. I haven't set up a VPN on a rPi, but I can't imagine that it can't be done. The rPi isn't the fastest thing around, but it should be able to copy files over the network OK.

Re: Replacing Netbook with Raspberry Pi
RPi 2 is quad core though and reckoned to be very roughly 3x faster for a single core if I've understood the announcement correctly. Also 1GB RAM. News in several places but egmcrossley wrote:The rPi isn't the fastest thing around, but it should be able to copy files over the network OK.

Re: Replacing Netbook with Raspberry Pi
And Windows 10 will be 'free of charge'* for the rPi. It will be interesting to see how fast that would run, I expect the Raspbian distro will still be the fav.

Re: Replacing Netbook with Raspberry Pi
I've ordered a Pi2, and registered for the IoT Development program.

Re: Replacing Netbook with Raspberry Pi
I have ordered one as well but I am using mine as a Video server, as I already have Acer Revo RL80 running the weather station.

Re: Replacing Netbook with Raspberry Pi
Thanks all. Interesting info about the RPi2, have also now ordered one to play with and figure out VPN's and file copying but could I also assume Windows 10 will be more familiar for me and "theoretically" run Robocopy and of course setup VPN's in a similar way to Win7 I wonder?

Re: Replacing Netbook with Raspberry Pi
I use filezilla to copy files to my pi. Works well from my windows pc. PuTTY also useful.

Olá William:
Desculpe, eu não falo Português por isso este é o Google Translate.
Quando o novo Cumulus MX 3.0 é liberado ele vai trabalhar com Linux e assim também em Raspberry Pi. Agora MX 3.0 está em testes beta por isso ainda não está geralmente disponível.

Re: Replacing Netbook with Raspberry Pi
Were you successful in getting it to run on Raspberry PI with Windows IOT?

Re: Replacing Netbook with Raspberry Pi
Hi Browse,
I have transferred over to running CumulusMX from an RPi2 but I didn't use IoT in the end, I am running it on Debian. I found other ways of doing the backups not using the RPi.
I think there are a few posts elsewhere on here from people who run on IoT.

Re: Replacing Netbook with Raspberry Pi
I'm pretty sure MX won't run on Windows 10 IoT - the .Net Micro Framework is far too limited.
