Backup ReadyNAS 4312V2 in Active Directory Environment
I have two RR4312Xs, both with firmware 6.10.1 using Active Directory for user management. I use one for production and the other for backing up the production's regular shares to. My question is...
Thanks for the quick response.
I really don't mind which side initiates, however, normally I prefer "push" for what I'm doing. I would have preferred rsync but, like you indicated, it isn't available so I just chose "Windows/NAS (Timestamp".
I created a share to push all the home folders backup to since I don't seem to be able to choose "Home Folders" as a destination (could this have something to do with BTRFS?) which seems to work fine. It would just be nice to basically have a secondary machine that almost always ready to be immediately used should the primary die.
Anyway, this does get the data backed up and that's the main thing.
Thanks again, I really appreciate your help.

You could add a second backup on the destination machine, that would copy the share to home. That can use rsync if you treat the source share as "remote" and use IP address 127.0.0.1. You could run that on schedule, or just keep it around in case you need it.

No, it has nothing to do with BTRFS. Netgear has simply chosen not to make rsync available for Home. They certainly could have.
