The image below shall give you an idea how to use WOL.bat to wake-up (duration 5*45s) and keep-alive (5s interval) your Linkstation while your e.g. Using the Windows Task Scheduler and FreeFileSync I now run a daily backup and the Linkstation is only active while FreeFileSync runs (+ a couple of minutes until it shuts down). "C:\Program Files\Utils\WOL.bat" end backup Once this is done you can use WOL.bat for.
Simply download WolCmd.exe, create WOL.bat, WOL.svn (find source code below) and copy the files to ( for now the directory is hard coded) C:\Program Files\Utils. In combination with t he utility WolCmd.exe I created 2 additional scripts (WOL.bat,WOL.svn) which I use to wake-up and/or keep-alive the NAS. So here is my solution which works without the Buffalo NASNavi Suite and may work for other vendors/products as well: This almost jeopardized my initial idea, because all I wanted to achieve was to activate the NAS, run the backup and finally shutdown the NAS until the next time the scheduler runs. So I purchased a Buffalo Link Station Duo (2TB,Raid1, good price-performance ratio) as backup device and was absolutely convinced that with a few clicks I could easily setup a pure Windows based backup scenario.īut first of all my Windows7 Home Premium doesn't support SyncCenter and the second issue is that I was not happy with the "NAS PM Service", which caused the NAS station to start-up when ever I turned on my PC. Last week after my hard-disk crashed and I realized that my backups are outdated, I decided to do it right this time.
