2-way rsync?
I have a new RD314 and an older NV+ NAS. I want to use the older NV+ as a remote backup NAS and use Rsync to accomplish this. However Rsync seems to work only in 1 direction. Is it possible to make th...
My way of thinking was one automated backup job and one manually triggered one if source device fails, in other words basic backup/restore process done with Rsync. The tip was just that Rsync can be used to a folder and then you can mount an SMB share that would appear like a folder to Rsync and so you can do everything having only SMB access to one device and full SSH access to the other so that the inability of the older device to have rsync is no problem neither for backup nor for restore.
That said I didn't pay attention that post #1 and #3 weren't sent by the same person.
So what I said was for @WarrenT.
For true bidirectional sync, DRBD is the first thing to pop in mind but I fear that with NAS custom kernels that's a bit complicated (if possible) to do.
Second one is Bittorent sync, if you have a secure channel between devices of course but I don't think the duo has it in the apps, shouldn't be hard to install it via SSH though. Also I recently found my conf erased while upgrading, I don't think that's the app but that it has more to do with Netgear Package (when my mac updated the app settings remained). Data is still present though, so that's more a trouble of generating keys and getting them back than anything else.
and a third one could be Unison but I didn't use it myself.
