RSync - am i missing something obvious? (RN312/RN102 with 6.10.4)
I feel like I am missing something obvious but I don't see it. I have used Rsync on Unix and I think I know the concepts. :-) Source is RN312 running 6.10.4. Target is RN102 also running 6.10....

A bit more information - if I set up the backup Rsync from a specific source folder to a specific destination folder, that works OK. It would seem a clue might be that both reports are trying to backup from /data.

Maybe we have a trend on the 6.10.4 firmware Marc_V and JohnCM_S ?

On second thought, is this a recursion problem? If the "r" option is missing or not working, this could explain what I am seeing. I will test this theory when I can but wanted to put it out for others to consider.

Recursion is working on my systems - backing up individual shares using "pull" backups (meaning that the source is remote).
