Since then all rsync backups fail within a minute
It actually claims 'complete' - but only the folders exist on the backaup - not the contents of those folders.
e.g.
Backing up the /data directory, the backup /data/databse exists but /database is empty on the backup, as are all other folders backed up.
Upgrading to 6.7.4 did not change anything.
Whether using rsync and backing up NAS to NAS or NAS to USB, only the folder structure is 'backed up' - no folder contents.
Using rsync to backup a share also does not back anything up.
This has been working properly until the recent FW updates.
Please - can anybody help?
rsync is working for me on all 4 my nas running 674
are you getting any errors in your logs? check your backup setting to see if you have 'on completion send full backup logs'.
If you are getting out of space or write errors, you might try; system > volumes > click gear > balance
Thanks for responding.
The settings haven't been changed - they were working for months / years OK
Log reports job completed successfully.
Email shows only data structure:

and looking at the backup only shows empty folders.
Each day is a full backup onto an empty drive.
