Connecting the dots with Solaris and middleware In the middle

After installing our new QNAP TS-109 NAS server, one of our next steps was to ensure that my wife's Mac G4 PowerBook would automatically mount the shares of interest whenever she logs into the laptop.  My personal blog article "Mac OS Client Access to NAS Server" explains what we did to get the most out of our new NAS server from one of our Mac clients.

 

As part of implementing our new home data storage and backup solution, we recently installed a QNAP TS-109 NAS server.  My personal blog article "TS-109 NAS Server Initial Experience" describes the initial steps in using this pretty neat and simple device.

 

I recently researched options for managing our electronic documents and media files at home.  Given several pretty basic requirements, the extensive amount of research I had to do to arrive at a reasonable solution was quite surprising.  How do non-technical people adequately and efficiently manage data at home?  I assume most don't.  My personal blog article "Home Network Data Storage and Backup" sets forth our requirements, looks at several options and describes the approach we've begun implementing in stages.
