Backup ALL local shares to USB drive
Hi, I just wondered how to use USB as a Backup destination for RN 102, because it will always copy data from inside the share to the root of the USB device, and that for each share, mixing up the sha...
I am having issues with USB.
I have 1.24 Tb on the NAS with no snapshots. I have set up an RSYNC transfer to a 1.5Tb drive (1.37 available) of each share. Initially I formatted to EXT3 and manually transferred the data over, before setting up the backup jobs. Os is the latest Beta 7 for the RN102.
The backups seem to take forever and the space on the USB (2.0) drive is vanishing fast and I am about to run out. My thought was that it may be due to my editing the source, removing some data and moving other data around, but I thought that RSYNC was clever enough to deal with that? I have looked for an option called delete files on target, but haven't found it anywhere.
