Auto Back up with deletion
Hi, I want to schedule backup daily from a share in NAS to a Remote Drive using cifs option. i have done and it is working fine as one way backup except, Deletion from Destination Drive is NOT ...
The only way to do what you want with CIFS is to delete the entire destination folder (which is a backup job option) and copy the entire share every time.

Hi stephen,
thanks for reply , actaully total data size is around 3 tb , we cannot delete on daily basis .
is this possible without CIFS ? local NAS to REMOTE HDD one way back up with delete enabled during sync ?

Yes, the option to delete files on the destination that are no longer on the source is available if you use rsync.
Note that leaving a comment in the exchange is not the same as voting for the idea.
Hi stephen ,
- how to configure that , as i am not able to do so.
- is something to be enabled at client end.
- is there anydrawback of using rsync as compared to cifs.
- pl help with configuration document if any to configure rsync.
- pl see attachement / pic above
thnx,
2) You need an rsync server installed on the destination share. What is the destination (a Windows PC??? Something else?)
3) Overall rsync throughput is slower than CIFS backup, but since it is incremental it generally works out faster in the end.
