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..

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.
