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
rsync is only available via the service. Sorry if that is not the way you want, but that is how it is implemented.
it does not go through the NIC if you use the local host name, 127.0.0.1 or the ip of the local nas
source: rsync server localhost
destination: share
in any case, it should hardly be any different thoroughput, especially once the initial job completes and its doing partials
as far as security I believe you can limit rsync access by host/ip, so simply limit rsync access to 127.0.0.1 and no other computer can access the service.
