How to restore user home folders From C volume backup?
I'm in the process of restoring data to our main NAS from the backup NAS. Both are running OS 6.8.0.
The backup is a C volume copy pushed nightly from the main NAS via rsync when it was running RAIDiator 4.x firmware.
With OS6, volume copy is no longer available so I'm rsyncing the backed up share folders into their approprate shares on the main NAS.
This is working fine for all share folders except user folders in home. I'm unable to set up a rsync job with the main NAS home share as a destination.
I was able to set up a backup job to a temporary transfer share I created as destination.
Question - is this the only way to restore the user home folders? Do I have to rsync the backups to a regular share, then once on the NAS move them into their proper user folders?
What is the current best practice for backing up and restoring user home folders?
Thanks!
That's one reason I don't use home folders. I don't know of any better workaound than the one you are using.
Honestly, I don't know what Netgear is thinking here. It's obvious that users need full NAS restore, and also simple backup/restore of all home folders.
