Using Rsync
Hello. I want to use Rsync to make a backup or replication of a Synology NAS. I have done this before but not to a Netgear ReadyNAS. So the source is a Synology NAS and the destintion is a Read...
The settings in this post should work with Synology too:https://community.netgear.com/t5/Backing-up-to-your-ReadyNAS/How-do-I-rsync-a-ReadyNAS-share-to-the-same-share-on-another/m-p/982539#M10704
Just reverse source and destination, since Synology would be the remote source, and the ReadyNAS the destination.
Thank you Stephen. I will try it and let you know.
This is the setting on my ReadyNAS.
I have created a shared folder called BACKUP_NAS3 and set the network protocol as shown.
This is infact all I have done on the destination NAS.
Is this all I need to do on the destination ?
If you are running the backup job on the ReadyNAS, then you shouldn't need to enable rsync on the share (but it does no harm).
If you are running the backup on the Synology then you do (and I think you've done all that's required).
Okay...thanks.
So what you are saying is that if the ReadyNAS is the destination then I do not need to spesify Rsync on the ReadyNAS ?
My problem is that when I from my Synology backup setup search for a Rsync device (server) it does not find it. It only discover two other Synology devices I have which I use as replication for other (QNAP) devices, I can put in the IP address for the ReadyNAS directly and then it finds the shared folder on my ReadyNAS. But when I define a scheduled backup or if I test the connection from my Synology to the ReadyNAS it failes.
