Rsync on ReadyNas Duo v1 not running anymore

My ReadyNAS Duo v1 works perfectly (why do you call it end of live :-). )

Due to a disk crash, I had to install a new 2TB disk and unfortunately I also reset the NAS, which means that all backup jobs have been removed. Unfortunately, I forgot to note the setings. And now I try to set them up again, but they do not want to start.

The rsync option for the media share is on: read / write

Backup source: [media] // mail

Backup destination External Rsync server: rsync.hidrive.strato.com :: users \ [username] \ Backup \ (Connection Test: OK).

Make a full back up every day

The log only says that the job has started, but it will not run. In the past, the log file shows what it copied, but now it only shows the beginning.

Can someone tell me what the right syntax for the job is.

Hi StephanB,
Thanks for your reply, sorry for my late response; busy :-(.

Thanks to your determination that a forward slash was needed, I went to search again (googling). Now I finally found it in one of the messages I encountered the correct syntax.
The syntax must start with 'root', so the full syntax must be 'root/users/[username]/[Directory]/[Directory]/'.
The syntax is case sensitive and the target directory must be on the target. The directory name must not contain space or punctuation. The forward slash at the end is a must.

Problem solved.

I now have saved the syntax in my OneNote, so I don't I will lose ever again :-).

Thank you very much for your help.

RuudB.

Hello RuudB,

I have some questions to ask, please see them below:

Could you send a screen capture of Backup Job configuration you have made and the Backup Job logs?

Could you send more information about the backup destination?

Welcome to the community!

    Hello RuudB,
    
    I recommend to check the permission of the share of the NAS which have set as the source. I have questions too.
    
    What happens when you test the connection on step 2?
    
    Are you able to ping the destination using its domain name?
    
    Have you tried using IP address on the destination field of the backup job instead of domain name?
    
    What is the firmware version of your ReadyNAS?
    
    Regards,
