- May 25, 2017True, you can't transfer the snapshots with a backup job.
But when the job starts on NAS A, a snapshot is automatically taken before transferring the data and released once complete. This is to ensure data consistency.
That's what I think OP was referring to.
The issue is because the destination NAS doesn't recognize the UID/GIDs used for file permissions.
Since 6.5.0, there were changes in the algorithm responsible for the AD SIDs to UID/GIDs mapping. If both NAS are integrated to AD, using "rid" instead of "tdb" (check smb.conf), then the mapping will be calculated consistently on both sides. Otherwise it won't.

Hi crazy_toy
the option is not flaggable in the rsync job when is on the sender nas, if i made a rsync job on the destination nas the otion is flaggable.
But in this case I lost the automated snapshot before the job and used for rsync
