RSYNC Permisions

Hi all,

If you use RSYNC between 2 NAS devices, by virtue of the way RSYNC works, it uses the UID / GID for the files of the origin server on the backup server. This can cause problems if the UID / GID are not consistent between devices.

Is there a way around this?

Thanks...

  • you can export user and group on one nas and import them on the other:

    Security -- User & Group Accounts -- click "Manage Users" and you'll see the options for import/export there.
