OS6 Troubles w/ RSYNC Config?
I've used OS4 with RSYNC between two ReadyNASes, but there must be something off for me because I'm having trouble configuring OS6 on the server. I am happy to specify a single IP with no credentials to do backups like my Pictures folder to my NV+.
I've attached some pictures to show you how I have it set up, and I wondered if anyone could provide me some ideas of how to make this work properly. All I get is "Error connecting to..." as an alert when I hit Test Connection, and if I get Go, I receive the following:
The path is correct because if I add a slash before the data, I get a dialog that the path is invalid when I click Test Connection. That said, I'm not sure why I'm hearing that the module is invalid in the above log.
The config pictures follow.
Thanks for any ideas!

INCREMENTAL Backup started. Thu Jul 24 11:14:47 EDT 2014
Job: 005
Protocol: rsync
Source: [Pictures]/
Destination: 192.168.15.254::data/Pictures
@ERROR: Unknown module 'data'
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1534) [sender=3.0.9]
Backup failed. Thu Jul 24 11:14:48 EDT 2014.
Reason for failure:
Error encountered copying data from source path /Pictures/ ==> 192.168.15.254::data/Pictures due to unknown reason. Please see log.
The path is correct because if I add a slash before the data, I get a dialog that the path is invalid when I click Test Connection. That said, I'm not sure why I'm hearing that the module is invalid in the above log.

- Did you share the Pictures folder on the data volume on the Remote NAS using Rsync?
Note the Remote NAS for the purposes of this is the NAS that you are not running the backup job on. The NAS on which you are running the backup job does not need the Rsync service enabled (unless it is used for backup jobs run from other NASes).
Can you try specifying the path as "Pictures" (no quotes)?
With Rsync disabled on every share except Pictures I get this:
# cat /etc/rsyncd.conf
charset = utf-8
#[Backup]
#path = /data/Backup
#comment = Backup folder
#use chroot = true
#uid = root
#gid = root
#[Videos]
#path = /data/Videos
#comment = Video folder
#use chroot = true
#uid = root
#gid = root
[Pictures]
path = /data/Pictures
comment = Picture folder
use chroot = true
uid = root
gid = root
#[Music]
#path = /data/Music
#comment = Music folder
#use chroot = true
#uid = root
#gid = root
#[Documents]
#path = /data/Documents
#comment = Document folder
#use chroot = true
#uid = root
#gid = root
As you can see it is shared as [Pictures] (note: no brackets in the path).
