How to backup from remote to local
I am looking for help on the best method to do scheduled weekly backups from a local NAS to a remote NAS. Both NAS's are running OS 6.6.1 Local NAS is ReadyNAS Pro 6 Remote NAS is ReadyNAS 516 ...
Hi , McRob1
How to setup backup job please see below :
you can fill IP in host filed
Note that the above method does not use ReadyCloud - it assumes that both ReadyNAS are on the same network.

Just to amplify this - a method you could use is here: http://kb.netgear.com/29929/ReadyNAS-OS-6-Setting-up-a-backup-job-with-rsync-over-SSH?cid=wmt_netgear_organic
I think you can also set up ZeroTier on both NAS and back up using the ZeroTier IP addresses - perhaps Sandshark can chime in on that.
ZeroTier is an excellent solution to this. Do a search on it and you'll find a posting from me on it.
With it, you get an encrypted VPN that parallels your standard IP address. I have my NASes all in the 192.168.0.30 to 192.168.0.40 range on my local network and their ZeroTier equivalents are 192.162.192.30 to 168.192.192.40. I can address them as 192.168.0.xxx on the local network or 192.168.192.xxx via ZeroTier. I can actually use the ZeroTier address anywhere -- local or remote -- with any device that has ZeroTier installed. Advantages over ReadyCloud are that you use the same user name everywhere (so access the same home folder) and it can do NAS-to-NAS functions as well as PC, tablet, phone, etc, to NAS just like you were on the same network. Well, you are on the same ZeroTier network.
A lot like with ReadyCloud, there is a cloud based server that assigns ZeroTier IP addresses, but you have control over it for your devices. You allow or disallow them and assign their ZeroTier addresses. The traffic doesn't all go through that server, though -- it just provides the routing information. If there is something you need to do via ReadyCloud that you can't via ZeroTier, the two co-exist just fine, too.

I tried to seup the backup job following the link you provided. The instructions just didn't explain what you enter in the host field or the share field.
I want to run a backup job on a NAS that pushes the data to a remote NAS at a offsite location. I want the backup job to select the entire share and send it to a remote share as a folder. This is similar to how Rsync does it's backups. This way I can create one share on the remote destination NAS that has a separate folder for each share as a backup of all the data. I can create a separate scheduled backup job for each share that I need to backup.
The procedure provided does not explain why when you enable SSH on a NAS you get a warning that Netgear will not support this.
I think I will look into ZeroTier now.
Thanks for the info.
on os 6, why not use replicate ?
