Internal (to the NAS) backup
Excuse my (possibly) ignorant question. I am attempting to establish a Rsync backup job that copies data between two different volumes on the same NAS. Question #1 Using a loopback approach...
Thank you Sandshark.
I would never have guessed to lie and set the 'internal' to external.
Is this more efficient than using the GUI Rsync with different share names or is it just another way to grandmother's house?

The GUI won't let you do an Rsync backup for local-to-local backups. Either the source or destination has to be remote - requiring you to use the loopback address if it isn't.
