trying to setup rsync job nas to nas with path

Can you run a test.

Create a share on each NAS, configure it the same as the shares you are having problems with and run a test backup job.

If it doesn't work try with a path that is just the sharename.

I see an additional error message that might help (not me, though):


rsync: change_dir "/AppStore" (in volumename) failed: No such file or directory (2)

That directory is there and has things in it. I set the source path to: volumename/AppStore

Perhaps reboot and try running the test job again.

I'll add it to the list of things to do... but, it did reboot when I upgraded it.

Everything I tried didn't work.

I even tried setting up the rsync backup (pull) to pull the entire share over. It copied maybe 8 or 12 folders by no files.
I tried making sure that the attributes / privs were set correctly and still no joy.

I then tried to push the one folder (<sharename>/outerfolder/desiredfolder) from the remote that I couldn't grab from (the naspro) to the newer nas (just an nv+) and this worked fine. The push of just that one inner folder over is still running and files are being copied.

Bottom line for me: rsync backup job PULL (source is nas pro, destination nv+) would not work no matter what I tried. Changing to PUSH (running on the nas pro TO the nv+ rsync backup job) seems to be running fine. I expect a dozen hours, but it's a runnin'

sheesh. at least it's copying...

I thought that I entered this reply a couple of days ago... trying again.

Nothing worked. So I inverted things and tried pushing (source the NasPro, destination the NV+). This worked (or rather IS working as it will take several days to copy a TB of data).
