Set up rsync from Synology NAS to Netgear Ultra 6.10.8
This is the settings for the Synology NAS. "Backup_Stor-NAS" is the destination file share on the Netgear. I am not sure what a backup module is. However the Synology NAS accepts the settings. ...

I would say it is on the ReadyNAS side.
You are using rsync backup, but you are showing us you smb setting on the ReadyNAS.
Make sure the rsync setting on the destination folder allows "Read/Write". The default is "Read" only. Obviously, you can't back up to a read-only folder.

Hey Olle,
The answer is probably on the Syno DSM rtfm under the subject "Setting up rsync backup with Synology DiskStation", stating under General
There are 2 backup modes for backing up from Synology DiskStation to your rsync-compatible server:
1. remote shell mode > mode will be enabled only when you enter an absolute path (starting with "/") in Backup module, and it only supports encrypted backup.
2. rsync > is used when you select a backup module (shared folder on the rsync-compatible server) from the drop-down menu next to Backup module.
Nothing ReadyNAS 8-)

....was talking of the referred Backup Module. Seriously ReadyNAS?
With the rsync destination ponting to a shared folder with read-only )or more likely non-existant), things are difficult.

You are right!
The rsync settings wasn´t done. I changed to read/write and also added "admin" as a user. Now the back-up is running. I have to look for the result tomorrow.
