Rsync not syncing
I have been using rsync to backup a large directory full of pictures from one ReadyNAS device to another. Or so I thought. I set it up some time ago, and clearly stopped checking it was working,...

But the log says it is. I think they are being copied into Backup Pictures/Pictures because you have no trailing forward slash after the destination directory name.

The Never suggestion returned a success notification, but only took 1m6secs...checked the directories and they're still not fully sync'd 😞

Try looking in the full log zip file of both systems, and see if you can find any issues in either. Look in system.log, kernel.log, and systemd-journal.log.

What OS version are you running? There was a known bug some versions back, though this doesn't really seem to be that since it does appear to be copying at least some files.

6.10.8 on both units.
One thing I haven't checked is whether it actually is copying anything now...will test that.
