Can I Rsync over the net?
I took my readynas NV+ to a remote private location and changed the backup from my LAN address to my DYNDNS account. It ran fine. I am backing up videos and music from my home theater system. I...
I wouldn't worry about SSH CPU load. I've been using SSH on an older NAS from a competitor and it was in now way limiting. rsync is a much higher CPU load. I have a reasonably fast cable internet connection with 0.5 MB/s upload and the NAS reached this maximum speed over SSH/rsync.
Under no circumstance I would transfer unencrypted data over the internet (think of the postcard metaphor).
Maybe the backup script I wrote is useful for you guys. The script recalls rsync (over SSH) as long as the backup job is unfinished. Upon completion the script either sends an email or displays a growl notification on my Mac's desktop. Each backup job is stored in a small configuration file which is fed to the script. It is possible to set backup intervals, split up big backup tasks into smaller folder jobs and also to create a backup history by transferring the backup into a dated folder upon each run.
By adding the backup jobs to cron, they run in the background according to a predefined schedule without needing any further user attention.
I would like to share this script, which I called Space Machine :) , on my blog: http://goo.gl/d3VKd
I hope this is helpful for people here and I would very much appreciate your feedback to further develop the script!
