Sync to USB drive instead of clear and full backup
Is there a way to sync a folder on the ReadyNAS to an USB drive instead of having it cleared and fully backuped? I have a large share on the NAS and a 2 TB USB drive attached. On this share new files...
local rsync backup would be a good feature. I suggest posting it in the idea exchange ( https://community.netgear.com/t5/Idea-Exchange-for-ReadyNAS/idb-p/idea-exchange-for-storage?topic-zoom=&sort-by=&date-range=all )
Sync instead of backup to USB
Rsync to a USB attached drive instructions are here:
Check Pixel81 instructions. They work. I could not get the input to accept "FILES & FOLDERS TO BE EXCLUDED:
- Select the ‘+’, enter the following in the “Name:” text box, select ‘Apply’:
/data/._share" But other than that , it works for me. Way Way better than the backup feature... I just wanted a sync'd USB drive, formatted NTFS so I can remove the drive and plug into any machine.

Yes, you can use localhost and a remote rsync destination.
Though that's not quite the same as being purely local rsync (which you can't do).

You no longer need that bit anyway.
