Duo to Duo Backup Hangs
Hi! I've had my 2 ReadyNas Duo v1 NASs (RAIDiator 4.1.14 [1.00a043]) backing up from one to the other nightly without issue for the last several years. The units are at different locations with ...

As far as I am aware, just regular rsync. I don't see any option for rsync over SSH, and I have not installed any 3rd party plugins to do so.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks!

Rsync should be using port 873. You can check to see if that port is open at both ends at http://www.canyouseeme.org/
Then create a small test share on one system, with just a couple of files. Create a new rsync backup job for just that share, and see if it works.

Hmmm...I actually have 2 backup jobs that run at 2am--the main one which i've been having issues with, and another one that's contents rarely changes (this has been running issue-free for years). i went ahead and made some changes to the contents of the 2nd job for the sake of a test--we'll see how things look by tomorrow.
also, i've verified that port 873 is open on both ends.
Will report back tomorrow.
THANKS!

So the 2nd backup job ran successfully; however, the 2nd job was aborted since it's previous instance was still running.
Do you have any other thoughts or troubleshooting tips?
Thanks!

What we know is that its not the network path, and its not rsync itself. If it were either of those, the small backup job would have failed.
One possibility is that there's just too much to back up, and its going very slowly. If the sites are nearby, it might be fastest to bring the NAS together. Then create a separate NFS backup job, which will recopy everything. You can then edit that to rsync, and re-run it. Then return the NAS back its remote site, and the over-the-internet rsync ought to work.
Sometimes backup jobs get "stuck" also - the system thinks they are running, but they aren't. You can figure that out with SSH - maybe someone from Netgear will offer to take a look remotely.
