Thank you for the info.

I am trying to back up one nas to another.
On the admin page of MainNAS, under System - Settings. Rsync service is NOT enabled. The instructions did not say to do this.
On the admin page of BackupNAS, under System - Settings. Rsync is enabled
Hi FG
Rsync can be disabled on the MainNAS since the procedure is to push the data to BackupNAS.
Port being requested for RSYNC should be Port 873, please take note that you may have to configure port forwarding on your router.
following the article I am sure will get us through the backup configuration. Please let me know once everything has been set.
Happy New year!

This may be a "dumb" question, but it both MainNas and BackupNas are plugged into same switch, then I wouldn't need to mess with the router, correct?
Port forwarding may be if one NAS was offsite?
If they are on the same network then the answer is Yes. No need to setup port forwarding but you still have to put in the port number on the NAS backup configuration
Hope this helps!
