Backup All Home shares to external USB drive not working
Hi everyone, Using ReadyNAS OS 6.7.4, just created a job to backup all my users home shares to an external USB drive. I'm using Rsync since it's the only way I can do folder exclusions and delete...
FYI, 6.7.5-T299 (Beta 1) seems to have resolved this issue for me.
My problem is similar to yours, except that my source is Time Machine. There is an issue with rsync in recent updates that has been acknowledged/reproduced by Netgear:
- RN104 OS 6.7.1 -> 6.7.4 breaks rsync backup of Time Machine to External Disk?
- Rsync broken since 6.7.1 & 6.7.3
Glad to know I'm not the only one. Hopefully they'll patch it soon.
As a test, I created a backup job using Rsync for only one user home folder using the same admin credentials as all other jobs. It worked, it copied all folder structure and contents. So I guess the problems is Rsync has to start from the root.
I won't create a separate job for each user as it'd painful to do so, but it's a start.
