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 job...

    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.

Note there is a help button which gives guidance on the path formats for various protocols.

Rsync server

 

If your rsync server is exporting modules, then:
If the location is:   myserver::mymodule/mydir
The host is:   myserver
The path is:   mymodule/mydir

 

So it definitely says forward slash, and likely you don't need the starting slash or the ending slash.  If the target is a ReadyNAS share, the path is simply the share name.

 

You could double-check with strato on what the path to your backup repository is.  Alternatively you could try restoring it to a different (test) share.

 

Did you ever save your logs or configuration zip?
