Using RSYNC over SSH to replace NETGEAR Replicate services

Hello, I Try to use the RSYNC over SSH to replace the Netgeat replicase service that stop end 2018

 

I have follow this tuto
https://kb.netgear.com/29929/ReadyNAS-OS-6-Setting-up-a-backup-job-with-rsync-over-SSH

 

I've creat the NAT rule for port 22 or router

I've creat the user en and the SSH key

when I choose the directory destination, I need to first enter user name, it's work, and I have the list of aviable direstory on destination NAS

BUT

on that list there is only 1 entry name "root"

I don't see the destination NAS shares

I can't select that only line, and if I click OK it tell me "You need first to choose destination folder"

 

What can I do wrong ?

  • Have you solved your problem? You can try this method, as shown in the figure: checked "Allow shell access" and unchecked "rsyc only" option.

    Hi Aranol,

     

    Welcome to the Community!

     

    The RSYNC for the destination share folder might not be enable. You may check that by going to the settings of the destination folder then go to the Network Access Tab. The RSYNC default access should also be on Read/Write.

     

    Regards,

    The destination is remote?  If so, are you selecting "Browse" next to the share entry and that isn't working correctly?

     

    Did you try entering the path (for instance /data/Backup)?

      Yes the destination in remote

      When I click "Browse", it first ask me "Connect As :"

      Here I have to put the user I creat on the remote nas associate with the SSH key (and this step work)

      Then I have a 2nd windows "choose a folder"

       

      but the only line in that liste is "root" (and I have no root share anywhere"

      and I can't select that line

      And when I click on "Select" buton nothing happen (probably because nothing is selected"

       

      There is also a button to creat new folder on that page, that give me an error message to select a parent folder node first

        So what happens if you don't click "browse" and just enter the path from the keyboard?
