rsync path limitation?
The first time trying to set up rsync between two NAS on a local network. Should be easy but am running into problems. Want to backup a Pro6 to a NVX. The Pro6 is assigned a static IP address of 19...
My goal is to run backup jobs from the NVX to backup source files the pro6
However, in troubleshooting I did find something interesting when trying to run a backup job on the Pro6 with destination on the NVX
For "Select backup source"
I can select any local share from the pick menu.
For "Select backup destination"
I select "Remote: Rsync Server" and put in "192.168.1.102" for the host
Here is the interesting thing
If I select "InstallerImages" for the path I get "Error connecting to 192.168.1.102" as before. However,
if I leave the path *empty* and test the connection I get "Successfully connected to 192.168.1.102" !!!!!
(of course, in this case the Apply button is still grayed out since the destination hare is not defined...)
BTW, what happens if multiple backup jobs with different source shares select the same destination share? Assuming I can get this working, can I have just one share and create different folders on the NVX for different source shares?
