NAS to NAS back-up

I wonder if anyone could suggest how best to achieve the NAS to NAS back-up I'm trying to sort out? I have a main NAS, an RN314 with 4x3TB drives (8TB usable) that I'd like to back-up to a second...

Yes, it queues the jobs.
If there are a few jobs and they're small, it's most likely ok to just give them the same start window.

In my case, as I have a dozen jobs and two of them can be big, I use a "sliding" window as described in my example. This way, I make sure that they don't all start at the same time at the end of the common start window

I think I have it set up properly now, due to run tomorrow morning so we'll see.

Thank you chaps :smileyhappy:

u can now switch on the backup nas, go to backup, find the little wheel and hit start. there is no need to wait for the schedule start. you may verify the scheduled turned on and incremental backup are working or not later.

  I using rysnc first time after main backup. Incemental transfers all files one by one and deletes itself one by one after transfering to destination. Why. I thought only transfers new files in the same share.

    I'm not completely sure I understand what you are saying.
    
    Was the "main backup" also using rsync? Was it the same backup job, or are you using a new one?
    
    Also, are you saying files are being deleted on the source?
    
    What NAS do you have and what firmware are they running?
