if your test connection is not working,
double check that rsync is enabled for the shares,
paths and shares are case sensitive,
you don't need rsync authentication but if you enable it make sure its the same on the rsync share page and your backup job (this is separate/independent of your nas users).
if you want the whole share to be rsynced, you do not need to specify a path
you should list the exact details or post a picture of your backup job if your having problems:
source: readynas share: stuff
path: /backmeup
destination: rsync server: 127.0.0.1/usb_hdd_01
path: /stuffbackup
compression: disabled
remove files deleted from source: enabled
this will essentially sync all files and folders in the stuff/backmeup folder to /usb_hdd_01/stuffbackup
any files that were deleted from /stuff/backmeup will also be deleted from /usb_hdd_01/stuffbackup, making the backup and exact duplicate
note: rsync must be enabled for the usb_hdd_01 share in frontview
