rsync from linux to readynas (duo)
I've had a readynas duo sat in the cupboard for a few years and have decided to put it to use as a secondary backup device. The problem is I cannot seem to get rsync to connect. I've searched googl...
nastest.sh is
rsync -avz ~/testfiles NAS-76-22-B5:/backup
After playing around, i found that enabling root ssh access I can get the command to work by specifying the user as root
rsync -avz ~/testfiles root@NAS-76-22-B5:/backup
But this prompts for a password. Not very useful for an automated backup. If I don't specify the user it asks for my password (gary) and since I don't have ssh access that doesn't work very well.
Adding a user under the rsync setup also doesn't seem to work.
Beginning to remember why this thing has spent the last two years in the cupboard.
