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...

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?

OK. I share movies folder from NAS to NAS. Destination folder has same files as source does.Rync starts and first file is transfered, but the file is already in the destination folder. When the 1st file is transfered theirs 2 copies of the same file, but that dupliacte gets deleted straight after the transfer finishes.Same thing happens on the 2nd file and so on. With 3TB of data how am i going to put this NAS offsite. Transfers everything again. Both NAS have OS6.
