aquarito as well as changing the backup job configuration you should also modify the sqlite3 database:
Be careful not to choose ports that are already in use by other things.

In fact, change dst_port on ReadyNas OS 6.2.4 (RN 102), in sqlite database, table backup, not change backup proces to use NEW ssh port. Anyone have a idea to do this?
Of course I'm edit own script on bash and every backup process to my own ssh port work's fine, but acctualy Netgear backup process not compatibile with this options.

Hi,
sorry for reviving this old thread.
So I was updating my little RNS102 to 6.4.0 a few days ago and thought, I could try again the rsync + ssh thing with using another port than 22.
I've created a backup job and entered in the target host field <hostname>:<ssh port>.
After pressing the "Test connection" button the NAS connected to my server with the given port! To be sure I've also checked the sshd logs and it confirmed the connection.
Now i was really happy that it finally works... :smileyvery-happy:
.. until I've tried to save the settings.
I'm getting an error popup with the message: Be sure to correct errors.
There seems to be a check in the ReadyNAS admin gui that prevents saving a hostname in the notation <hostname>:<port>. It didn't like the :<port> part.. :smileymad:
Netgear, please remove this check. It would add another feature to the NAS.
Thanks..

I agree it would be useful to specify a non-standard port.
