Backing up Readynas 204 to Readynas NV+

I want to back up my Readynas 204 to my Readynas NV+. The 204 is running firmware version 6.3.5. I cannot find a valid combination of destonation host name and share name when creating the backup job...

I installed v6.4.1 and changed the host name to the ip address. Rsync backup now runs successfully.

Thanks. I was able to successfully set up backups and I switched to rsync as well.

Hi Peter-B,

How was it? Did the backup complete? Also, were the files copied or saved to the destination share?

Kind regards,

Thanks for checking. I thought I had it but no such luck. The host name resolved to the wrong ip address even though the "test connection" button resulted in a good result - not sure why. I reset the ip address for the destination backup server to a reserved ip address and retried manually. I got this:

.rsync: failed to connect to nas-F1-85-56 (192.168.0.200): Connection refused (111)
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(128) [sender=3.1.1]

Progress has been made, though - at least it is trying to connect to the right ip address!

Regards,
Peter

    Sorry, I forgot about that. FWIW, I didn't see that bug with 6.4.x, though my OS6 rsync backup jobs have my Pro-6 as the source, not my v1 systems.
