Backing up via rsync ssh failing since upgrade to 6.4.1
Hello I have a Readynas RN104 and since i updated to 6.4.1 all of my backups are failing. I backup via SSH rsync to another rsync enabled nas (dlink). Nothing has changed since install last year but ...
Also, did you upgrade to the production 6.4.1, or are you running one of the betas?
There was a fix in 6.4.1-RC3
[RC3] Fix premature timeouts on rsync backup jobs.
I'm running the version that my readynas prompted to download 6.4.1.
I can backup to the Readynas and I can backup from the readynas if I set my other device to pull the data rather than the readynas pushing it.
I will look to pull backups in the interim if there is a pending fix rather than going for the beta.
thanks.

6.4.1 is released, not beta.
However, if you are using the antivirus service, then I suggest postponing the 6.4.1 upgrade for a bit.
Hi,
For what it's worth:
- I had the same exact issue after upgrading from 6.4.0 to 6.4.1.
- Both backup client (RN104) and backup servers (RN102, multiple of them) are Readynas gears.
- After a number of tests and tries, I gave it a try to downgrade the client to 6.4.0... and bingo, works again !
- I have one test RN102, which I upgraded to 6.4.1, then defined a new backup task. This was working fine. However, defining a new backup task on the other backup clients (which were clients prior to the upgrade) didn't help.
Conclusion: it seems that backup settings and info are screwd up after upgrading backup clients to 6.4.1 (although SSH and SFTP connections are still possible from the client to server ; It's really RSYNC/SSH that doesn't work anymore.

I have lots of RSYNC backup jobs on both my 6.4.1. systems, and they all still function correctly. The source is my pro-6 (so they "pull" data to the OS 6 systems).
None use RSYNC/SSH - which might be a clue.
