- can' t backup remotely through ssh and rsync
Hello,
I would like to backup some files from a Debian Computer via ssh and rsync. My firmware version is 6.10.1.
When I am configuring my remote backup I choose on the left side "remote" and on the right site "local". The configuration on the remote part runs successfully and the test is also successfull. I can login as root and can choose the folder. On the "local" side I choose a local folder on the NAS. But after I finish the procedure I always get the same failure: "The source and target can' t be equal".
That's weird they are not equal at all.
Do you have an idea what this means?
Beat regards
Kalle

What IP address are you using for the remote source?
Have you tried doing this with rsync (not rsync over ssh)?
Hi Steven,
> What IP address are you using for the remote source?
It' s an IP from my LAN range: 192.168.178.*
> Have you tried doing this with rsync (not rsync over ssh)?
No, because I have not configured rsync as a server.

Main question here was whether it was the IP of the debian pc.

??? It needs to be configured as a server on the debian machine in order for this to work.
