RSYNC does nothing
Man this ReadyNAS 516 has me puzzled.. it's nifty and much faster than my old nvx but man.. simple things just don't work sometimes. Anway.. I'm having trouble doing an rsync of my user folders ...
Test backups: Not sure what you mean. I had rysnc backup jobs and before ReadyCloud deleted my user folders I am 90% certain I had rsync working for those user folders (I hadn't done anything else to get data on my 516 prior to that). I had tried it on two user folders and all the data came over. Also have it working on one public share and that's been working fine with no issue.
Firmware version: 6.5.2
Netgear Support: Can't do it anymore. It's only available within the first 90 days of registering. I"m at about 100 days.. grr. just missed the cutoff.
Still puzzled.. so maybe I will just activate ftp on the nvx and use rsync on the 516 to transfer it in? If nothing else, I may just do a factory reset and start over and see if it works then.
who knows what I had setup before.. the ftp on source (nvx) and rsync on destination (516) works fine but it appears I cannot set the backup to remove files deleted at the source "remove deleted files on target".
