unable to backup Raspberry pi with rsync to ReadyNAS 102
Hi, I am using my ReadyNAS 102 for different backup purposes like Timemachine, music, & pictures. Now I want to extend it to backup a few Raspberry Pis. For this purpose I use a nice back-up progra...
You appear to be mounting the NAS share via NFS, and then doing a local backup on the Raspberry Pi (using the mount point as the destination).
With that approach, you don't actually need rsync enabled on the NAS share. Your issue looks like it is related to NFS file permissions on the NAS.
You could fix the permissions problem, or you could change your rsync command to use the NAS share itself as the destination (not mounting the share via NFS). If you want to use the second approach, you can try doing a test rsync backup job locally on the NAS (making the destination share "remote" and using 127.0.0.1 as it's IP address). After that works, you can see the full command line by running top while the backup is running. That will give you some idea on what the NAS rsync server is expecting.
Thanks, Stephen.
In fact i could solve the problem by adjusting the permissions.
