Finely i am able to get a real backup solution set up using my old ready nas's, after losing most files when readycloud went down this yea.... i am trying to get home folders (where i put most...

i dont know if the router where the remote nas will be has a dns on it. (YET)
cause i would rather push if i could chouse.
To be clear, you want DDNS, not ordinary DNS. If the router doesn't support it, you can also install a DDNS client on a PC in that location.

i am using the moth on INT ips so exp:192.168.1.10 for Nas A and 192.168.1.20 for Nas B
not sure if i nead to open the port 22 when i get it working on Int IP and more it over to
EXT IP ( over the internet)
Of course test the backup job on your local network.
Later on (for push) you will need to replace the IP address for NAS B with the DDNS name. And you will need to forward port 22 on the router for NAS B.

did you see and thing else i did wrong on any other part of the setup? such as the shair ? its a shair strait off the main root Data/(share name)
Again, getting the backup(s) working on the local lan will flush out any mistakes in the backup job settings. In general, you will need rsync enabled for the destination share(s) on NAS B.
Hi craer
Sorry,replicate dont support back up home folders to remote,but you can create backup job to back up home folders to remote
Thanks
that sux :smileysad:
ok for a backup job from what i read remote: Rsync Server
is the way to go
just i dont understand how to set it up or if that accepts home folders
the option under :(
home folder is shaded out for rsync
letalone no bitrot
im sure host is (55.555.555.55) the ip but is there a port?
and share if i was to push (data/home Folders)?
just cant find a good setup guide for a remote backup
NAS A and NAS B
if you want to back up home folders on NAS A to B , you can create backup job on NAS A , then remote is NAS B , like below screenshot
You should be using rsync over ssh, since this is going over the internet. There's a guide here: https://kb.netgear.com/29929/ReadyNAS-OS-6-Setting-up-a-backup-job-with-rsync-over-SSH
You will also want to deploy DDNS (dynamic DNS) on the remote system, so NAS A can reach NAS B using a name instead of an IP address that can change without notice.
