Backup ReadyNas to ReadyNas with rsync and exclude lists
Hi, I have two ReadyNas that are successfully doing backups (between two sites) via rsync. There is one directory that we do not wish to copy over because it contains large, temporary media files (...
Ian,
Thank you so much for posting this.
I am in a similar boat: I totally agree with you about the purpose of appliances (and the need to not void rights to tech support as well), but i need to get my ReadyNAS to run rsync with parameters that I can't control through FrontView.
Your solution is about as uninvasive as it gets so I am preparing to ride on your coat tails (thanks again for bothering to post the solution). I just wanted to see if you had run into any problems since implementing this before I jump in.
Also, I actually need to get FrontView to STOP adding the "-l" paramter because the rsync server i'm backing up to (from the ReadyNAS) is ibackup and their server rejects connections with this parameter (a documented feature). I'm not familiar with perl at the moment so it's not clear to me if this will be doable/easy.
Lastly, to the tech support folks: is there an effort underway to build an add-on for this? If so I might wait for that as the cleanest way to get the changes.
Thanks in advance for any feedback you can offer.
Jared
