Hi shardie

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.
