![]() ![]() ![]() It allows you to set up two zones, with two snapshots and 50 data points per zone. There is a free version, but you’ll have access to more of what makes NetSpot useful if you opt for the Home version. NetSpot includes many powerful diagnostics tools, and it does so in a lightweight package. Use this troubleshooting tool to determine the best channel with the least interference to connect to. The Discover Tool lets you view individual bandwidths for detailed information about activity on the network. If you’re seeking the best Wi-Fi network quality, then you’d want to connect to the 5GHz band if possible. The 5GHz band has more bandwidths that don’t overlap, resulting in better connection strength and quality. For example, the 2.4GHz network has 11 different bands, but only three of these do not overlap. There are different bands to each network range. Selecting a point shows a breakdown of every network and Wi-Fi channel within range of that point. When the network analyzer survey is complete, you can see detailed information about each area, including signal strength, the signal-to-noise ratio, the bandwidth frequency coverage, and more. You’ll need to repeat this process for at least three points throughout the home. You shouldn’t move your device from this position during the duration of the scan. You choose the point in the map where your computer is the first point for the Wi-Fi analyzer scan before moving to the next point.Īfter you choose one point on the map, the scan will commence. After you’ve performed basic calibration, the survey begins. The app can take any two measurements and calibrate the rest of the floorplan based on those distances, provided the floorplan you use is to scale.Īfter this, NetSpot asks if you want it to scan any other Wi-Fi networks. You can calibrate your map by selecting two points and entering the actual distance between them. You can also upload a floorplan of your office or apartment (if one is available) and work off that. You can design a map of your space by drawing it, choosing a sample map, or starting with a completely blank map. ![]()

![]() ![]() When I converted my homelab to proxmox and also to their backup solution the requirements was different - no longer was it few massive files, but instead a lot of “smaller” files that needed to be transferred. ![]() But I had learned to live with the speed it took since it was simple and it worked. This is what I used previously to transfer my backups to when I was using VEEAM - it was not great and transferring my weekly full backup took hours - even though I have a 1Gbit internet connection. These directories can be on the same system, different systems, so its very flexible and works great. Rsync is a program that can synchronize directories. ![]() Simple is good and for a first time copy scp will probably be okay’is - but as a solution its not good, since it is not a sync protocol - and to make it into a sync protocol you would need to create scripts to compare destination with source and then only copy the delta. Simply copy the files via scp on a schedule.So instead of having a coupld of HUGE files I need to transfer to the “cloud” - I have many thousands - in fact at this moment there are 97k files that is my backup - all these needs to be synced to. The new solution stores a lot of files in a not so ideal directory structure in my opinion. With my old backup solution VEEAM - a couple of HUGE files was generated that contained all the delta updates of the backups. Unfortunately I do not have the budget to use their ZFS solution, since that would most definately be the speediest solution to backing up my backups because I am also running my filesystem on ZFS, which would have allowed me to just replicate snapshots which is very fast since it is just streams of data and not files that gets copied. With my old backup solution I backed up my “backup” to the cloud to my provider rsync which simplied is just a ssh connection where they have enabled certain programs to run and the underlying storage they use is ZFS. I recently started using proxmox in my homelab instead of using VMWare ESXi - this lead me to Proxmox Backup Server since it allows delta backups like my previous backup solution for ESXi. ![]() |
