Use of Rsync with local shares
I would like to be able to choose to use rsync or cp depending a checkbox. CP to me is worthless. Model: ReadyNAS Ultra 4 Plus [X-RAID2] Firmware: RAIDiator 4.2.19
using backup jobs is the only way to copy other than drag/drop with windows, or command line ssh.
using rsync backup jobs is very easy.
yes, the first time a job is run it will copy the entire share, after that it will delete if you have the option checked..
NOTE: the REMOTE Rsync server, CAN BE THE LOCAL MACHINE
if it is a large share and you do not want to re-do the inital copy (because the data is already copied), you can make the initial backup job point to empty shares/folders.
to edit a backup job, just click the job number button on the backup job list.
I don't know why you are having problems or are getting upset, the rsync backup will do exactly what you want, as I have it setup to do exactly that from one of my readynas to another.
