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...

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.

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.

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.

and thanks i will readup on the ssh
To be clear - the idea here is to tunnel rsync over ssh, in order to get an encrypted connection. The guide I linked before ( https://kb.netgear.com/29929/ReadyNAS-OS-6-Setting-up-a-backup-job-with-rsync-over-SSH ) has all you need to know. You don't need to use any ssh commands.

i have a netgear ac1900 i prity sure.
Nighthawk routers do include DDNS support (including the ability to get a free xxxx.mynetgear.com DDNS name). If that's what you have, then you'd forward port 22 in the Nighthawk to your NAS. The far end system would initiate the backup ("pull" backup), and it would use the DDNS name you get for the Nighthawk.
ok i can figer out the dns. will be nice to have set up once i have everything all done
i cant get the ssh part to work
i did what thay said to do to the "T"
and i get a error.. i am using all internal ip's so i dont know if thats whats wrong
both readynas are both on the same network ATM
not sure what realy to do with the "key" A text file will be downloaded with the public key. Generally, this goes in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys of your destination
i tryed to place it in the admin ssh folder. tryed to coppy past the Key in to the text file in that folder by default.. not sure what to do i know what it is just not where it goes
o and is it better to push or pull data
such as have to nas B pull it from A
or Nas A push it To B

You just download the key, and then install it using the import key instructions (steps 1-8 on using a remote host).
It's best to do this in both directions (installing each key on the other NAS).

Push backups have small benefit - the source NAS takes a snapshot, and backs up the snapshot. That ensures that nothing on the source changes while the backups are being run. If your backups run on-shift (or if the source NAS is used 24/7), then I'd use push.
However, if the backup NAS runs on a power schedule, then a pull backup is needed - since the remote NAS might still be booting up when the backup starts.
Note that if you do a push, then DDNS needs to be running on the backup NAS router. If you do a pull, then DDNS needs to be running on the source NAS router.
There are some instructions here: https://kb.netgear.com/23945/How-do-I-set-up-Dynamic-DNS-on-my-Nighthawk-router-if-I-already-have-a-Dynamic-DNS-account
You can create an account at noip.com.
thanks some good infor on the push pull.
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.
i did the host user on both and swaped keys as you tell me to do and still nothing,
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)
so my questions atm is when setting up ssh backup i put that host user account as the login and it doesent ask for a password for some reason?? (odd) and dont use admin or root account (Right?) and 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)
and just fyi the import key instructions are not user friendly kinda confusing. be nice if some one can do a utube vid on it Wink Wink
once more guys and gals thanks for everything
