RSYNC over SSH backup using a different port - OS 6.1.2

Hi,

it seems the system itself supports already using a different port, only Frontview isn't able to handle it.

So what you can do is just creating a backup job and ignoring the fact that you want to use a different SSH port.
As soon as you've created the job login to the NAS by SSH and open the file
/etc/frontview/backup_jobs.conf
in an editor of your choice.

There you will find the configurations of your backup jobs.

To change the SSH port you've got the option to change two settings:
<src_port>
<dst_port>

* If you want to transfer data from a server to your NAS, change the src_port to the desired port.
* If you want to send data from your NAS to a server, change the dst_port.

Here you can see the configuration of a backupJob. I've marked the two parameters which you can adjust.

<backupJob>
<job_id>004</job_id>
<name>backuptoRemote</name>
<enabled>0</enabled>
<sch_every>24</sch_every>
<sch_start>0</sch_start>
<sch_end>23</sch_end>
<sch_dow>127</sch_dow>
<src_type>share</src_type>
<src_share_proto>Files</src_share_proto>
<src_share_vol>data</src_share_vol>
<src_path>Dev</src_path>
<src_login></src_login>
<src_password></src_password>
<src_port>0</src_port>
<src_eject>0</src_eject>
<dst_type>remote</dst_type>
<dst_share_proto>rsync+ssh</dst_share_proto>
<dst_share_vol></dst_share_vol>
<dst_path>my.host.org://home/nasuser/backup</dst_path>
<dst_login>nas</dst_login>
<dst_password></dst_password>
<dst_port>30462</dst_port>
<dst_eject>0</dst_eject>
<opt_full_backup_freq>FIRST_TIME</opt_full_backup_freq>
<opt_remove_previous_backup>0</opt_remove_previous_backup>
<opt_chown_to_share_owner>0</opt_chown_to_share_owner>
<opt_rsync_options>0</opt_rsync_options>
<opt_email_this_to_alert_email>0</opt_email_this_to_alert_email>
<opt_rsync_exclude></opt_rsync_exclude>
<opt_misc_option>0</opt_misc_option>
<wol_addr></wol_addr>
</backupJob>

One important thing:
Whenever you change your backup configuration the configuration file of the backup jobs will be rewritten. Unfortunatly the ports will reset to 0 (default). So you'll have to adjust the ports again after each backup configuration change. :-/
