Using Backup between RN104 and RN422 (Cannot conect to Host)
Hi All, I am trying to use the simple Backup from a ReadyNAS RN104 to an RN422. Previously back in 2018 this worked flawlessly from an RN312 to the RN104 I have now, but I have recently purchase...
Are you trying to back up the home folders, or a share?
FWIW, I use rsync (and not SMB) for NAS to NAS backups. But SMB should work. One possibility is that the share on the RN422 requires credentials that you haven't added in the RN104 backup job.
One thing you can try is running the backup on the RN422, and selecting the RN104 share as the remote source.
Generally NAS backup is more reliable when you use IP addresses and not host names.
- Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I was getting around to updating this thread.
The cause of my issue is the RAX120 is blocking access to the host.
Upon connecting my Orbi to test, I have no issues with the backup now.
A case has been raised regarding RAX120 with the engineering team.
I hope to update in due course if anyone else is experiencing the same with regards to RAX120.
Cheers!
