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).

Happy Holidays! We would like to request for the full logs of your NAS if possible, kindly send it via PM.
Many thanks!

Link sent to source and destination logs on Dropbox. These logs include the test of sending just one folder that worked. Look for the Rsync of /data.
Thanks for the help and Happy Holidays!!

Update - after more testing, it is NOT related to recursion (rysnc "r" parameter). Doing Rsync for a folder with folders inside folders works fine and creates both the directory structure and content. That point the problem back to an Rsync for the volume /data on 6.10.4. I don;t have an easy way right not to go back to 6.10.3 or earlier for testing.
