Question About Using Rsync For ReadyNAS 628x Backups
I have two ReadyNAS 628X boxes in the same house. I backup folders from NAS1 to NAS2 weekly using Rsync. It works well. I'd like to move one of the boxes to a second home however. I have a workin...

I have a working site-to-site IPsec VPN between these two houses using two pfSense routers. Should I be able to continue using Rsync for backup across the internet within my VPN? I would change the IP address of the relocated NAS box to the local IP range of the second home. Thanks!
That should work. Though maybe make sure you can ping devices at the remote location from your house before you move the NAS.

I have since moved the second NAS, made the IP address changes and the backups are working well! I have 1 Gigabit fiberoptic connections at both homes. I do wish the internet passage was still faster for large files. This is still a nice alternative to more expensive cloud storage backups however. 🙂

Thanks for the update.
As far as throughput goes, the upload speed at the main home might be the bottleneck. Do you have symmetric service? Or is the upload speed slower?
It is supposedly symmetric by both CenturyLink and TDS which supply the two homes. I do get similar 900+ Mbps downloads and uploads when doing speed tests. Microsoft Copilot says that the connections are full duplex, not half duplex either. But who knows?

Is the site-to-site VPN throttling the performance?
