Backing up via rsync ssh failing since upgrade to 6.4.1
Hello I have a Readynas RN104 and since i updated to 6.4.1 all of my backups are failing. I backup via SSH rsync to another rsync enabled nas (dlink). Nothing has changed since install last year but since the upgrade they all fail with the following.
Backup Job Name: Video Backup Backup Job Type: Incremental Protocol: rsync+ssh Backup Source: [Videos]/Home Movies Backup Destination: [remote:rsync+ssh]/dlink://mnt/HD/HD_a2/Backup-Videos Backup Start Time: Fri Dec 4 2015 21:07:53 Backup Finish Time: Fri Dec 4 2015 21:08:01 Backup Status: Fail: error in data stream. Check remote rsync server settings.
Failed to run rsync, return rc 3072 (12) 'rsync' command returns rc=3072
rsync: on remote machine: -vlOJogDtrxe.iLsfx: unknown option rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1431) [server=3.0.7] rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(226) [sender=3.1.1]
I've tried to recreate the jobs but they still fail?

Hello hoppo1,
Have you checked the permissions of the source and destination? May be try creating a new share on the NAS and create a test rsync backup going to the other non-ReadyNAS.

Hi,
For what it's worth:
I had the same exact issue after upgrading from 6.4.0 to 6.4.1.
Both backup client (RN104) and backup servers (RN102, multiple of them) are Readynas gears.
After a number of tests and tries, I gave it a try to downgrade the client to 6.4.0... and bingo, works again !
I have one test RN102, which I upgraded to 6.4.1, then defined a new backup task. This was working fine. However, defining a new backup task on the other backup clients (which were clients prior to the upgrade) didn't help.
Conclusion: it seems that backup settings and info are screwd up after upgrading backup clients to 6.4.1 (although SSH and SFTP connections are still possible from the client to server ; It's really RSYNC/SSH that doesn't work anymore.

I have lots of RSYNC backup jobs on both my 6.4.1. systems, and they all still function correctly. The source is my pro-6 (so they "pull" data to the OS 6 systems).

Re: Backing up via rsync ssh failing since upgrade to 6.4.1
I finally have done the following:
On my Readynas backup server:
move the backup files to a temporary location
Delete the backup account
Recreate the backup account
On my Readynas client:
Delete the backup job
Recreate the backup job, with a source that contains almost no files, then run it (when you run a backup job for the first time, it will copy all files (i.e. full backup) to backup server, which I wanted to avoid. That's why I have set the source to an almost empty location)
On my Readynas backup server:
Move back the backup data from temporary location to the backup location
On my Readynas client:
Modify the backup job, and set the source to my real backup source location, then run it again (as it did ran once already, it will now do an incremental backup as wanted. Because I restored the real backup on the backup server, and there were no changes on the client, the backup job runs rather quickly... and all is working fine again.
