RSync over SSH backup
Hi
I've just acquired a RN102 for a relative.
I'm setting it up so that my pictures are backed up to my relative's NAS (a RN102) over the Internet. I want to do this using RSync over SSH.
When configuring the backup job, which I do from my NAS (RN314) I set the up the source to a share on my own NAS. The destination is then my relative's NAS. When doing this with "standard" RSync (from my own NAS, the source NAS), the "Test Connection" seems to work fine. But when I switch to RSync over SSH, it fails. I recon this is because of a missing SSH key file. I then go to the "Advanced" tab of the backup job and select "Download SSH key file". I get a "public_ssh_key.txt" file. I assume this is the file I want to transfer to the destination NAS. But how on earth do I import this key file to the destination NAS? The guides available for RSync over SSH is for the older v4 or v5 systems...
Any takes?
Thanks in advance!

Then, how do I do it via an SSH session?- As shown in Method 2 on http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12263/~/setting-up-rsync-over-ssh-(x86)
You add it to the authorized_keys file. mdgm wrote: As shown in Method 2 on http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12263/~/setting-up-rsync-over-ssh-(x86)
You add it to the authorized_keys file.
Thanks a bunch! Worked like a charm!
Just gotta remember to put /data/ in front of path of the destination :)- Can anyone explain to me, why I get this error when trying to do a sync? I'm pushing data from the source to the destination...

Also note in the backup job if you use Rsync over SSH you don't specify credentials as well. The SSH key is enough. mdgm wrote: What version of ReadyNAS OS are you running?
On the source NAS which is running the backup job (RN314): 6.1.9 RC11
On the destination NAS (RN102): 6.1.8mdgm wrote: Also note in the backup job if you use Rsync over SSH you don't specify credentials as well. The SSH key is enough.
Didn't seem to make a difference :(

----------------------------------------- Shouldn't the backup Source be Pictures instead of /?
Is the RN102 already on your relative's network, or is it on your local network? StephenB wrote: Shouldn't the backup Source be Pictures instead of /?

Don't think so, the source is a test share 'ssh' on my own RN314.
The destination NAS has not yet left my network. Want to make it work here, before going over the Internet. This is to have less complications when getting futher..
But my settings is as per the attached pictures:
http://1drv.ms/WUP894
http://1drv.ms/WUPkFs- Ok, I see. I was going by the name of the backup job
rsync: mkdir "/root/data/Backup" failed: No such file or directory
is maybe a hint.
try /data/Backup/Pictures as the destination path. Also, make sure that path already exists.
