RSync fails... Any idea why?

Hi All... Im trying to backup one NAS to another NAS using RSync but it just keeps failing.

 

So the main NAS is a ReadyNAS 2304 backu to ReadyNAS 2120 v2. oth have the same firmware versions. I created the backup job NOT using SSH but get this error message below:

 

Backup Job Name: job_001
Backup Job Type: Incremental
Protocol: rsync
Backup Source: [STORAGE]/
Backup Destination: [remote:rsync]/READYNAS-2120.local::RN2304-BACKUP/BACKUP
Backup Start Time: Mon Dec 03 2018 12:20:41 AM
Backup Finish Time: Mon Dec 03 2018 12:20:48 AM
Backup Status: Fail: Failure during copy.

Failed to run rsync, return rc 10
'rsync' command returns rc=10

sending incremental file list
rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer (104)
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at io.c(794) [sender=3.1.3]

 

No matter what options I try it fails.... Please help?

 

Thanks in advance

  • ITS WORKING NOW

     

    Okay so what I did was from the host (backup) NAS I created a BACKUP shared folder and enabled RSync, but I made sure that READ/WRITE was selected in the security tab....

     

    Now its working..

    Hi shardie

     

    Are the shares on both NAS has RSYNC enabled? Also please check your DNS entries on Network Settings.

     

    Have you tried setting the backup on the destination to pull the data to it?

     

     

    Regards

      Thanks for the reply....

       

      Yes RSync is active on both NAS's, and noth find each other in the setup..... 

       

      What I nocticed is that it gives an error if I choose the ROOT of the drive but it works only if I choose a Folder. I dont want to choose seperate folders but the whole drive.

       

      If I make the path just {name of volume} I get a permission error.
