How do I rsync a ReadyNAS share to the same share on another ReadyNAS?
I am using the "Backup" section of the "Admin Page" web app. Both NAS units are identical ReadyNAS 316s. The backup is running on my local LAN. I was told by Support that I should just be ab...
I use "push" myself, but the only settings difference is to reverse source and destination. I prefer backup jobs for each share (partly because I am backing up to multiple smaller NAS).
Push Settings for a share (let's call it "Music") are:
Source type: Share
Name: Share:Music
Destination Type: Remote
Name: remote: Rsync Server
Host: 10.0.0.10 (use whatever the ip address of the destination is)
Path: Music (Case sensitive, and no slashes)
After you do the setup wizard, go into settings and choose advanced. Check the box next to "remove deleted files on target".
Of course rsync needs to be enabled for Music in the destination share.
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 ?

That guide describes how to do what you need on a share by share basis. What you are probably most interested in are steps 14 and 15 to prevent the XYZ/XYZ/file issue.

Which says to put a \ on a local source (e.g. the share name) path.
Is there a reason this is not needed on local destination paths? I have at least 25 rsync backup jobs from OS4 to OS6 which all use local destination, and I've never needed to do this.
