Backup home folders on ReadyNAS 528X using replicate
Finely i am able to get a real backup solution set up using my old ready nas's, after losing most files when readycloud went down this yea....
i am trying to get home folders (where i put most of my private files) to backup using replicate or and thing i can use to backup to a remote (not on my network) readynas.
every way i try replicate/ rsync home folders are not listed as a option to backup
i am running a 528x backing up to
rn102 (remote nas)
and once i get that working
backing up local rn314
all running OS6.7.5
so is there any way to backup private home folders to anything other then a usb connected device?
Thanks--

i dont know if the router where the remote nas will be has a dns on it. (YET)
cause i would rather push if i could chouse.
To be clear, you want DDNS, not ordinary DNS. If the router doesn't support it, you can also install a DDNS client on a PC in that location.

i am using the moth on INT ips so exp:192.168.1.10 for Nas A and 192.168.1.20 for Nas B
not sure if i nead to open the port 22 when i get it working on Int IP and more it over to
EXT IP ( over the internet)
Of course test the backup job on your local network.
Later on (for push) you will need to replace the IP address for NAS B with the DDNS name. And you will need to forward port 22 on the router for NAS B.

did you see and thing else i did wrong on any other part of the setup? such as the shair ? its a shair strait off the main root Data/(share name)
Again, getting the backup(s) working on the local lan will flush out any mistakes in the backup job settings. In general, you will need rsync enabled for the destination share(s) on NAS B.

ok for a backup job from what i read remote: Rsync Server
is the way to go
just i dont understand how to set it up or if that accepts home folders
the option under :(
home folder is shaded out for rsync
letalone no bitrot
im sure host is (55.555.555.55) the ip but is there a port?
and share if i was to push (data/home Folders)?
just cant find a good setup guide for a remote backup
NAS A and NAS B
if you want to back up home folders on NAS A to B , you can create backup job on NAS A , then remote is NAS B , like below screenshot
