There are a *lot* of files that are being copied a-ok... it's just those few and there are no Excluded Files & Folders save "Recycle Bin":

What firmware are you running?

6.7.4

Been getting the prompt to update to 6.7.5, but have not done so yet.

There is a fix in 6.7.5 that applies to your backup job

• Fixed an issue where rsync local-to-remote backup jobs would only back up the top-level folder.

Thanks.... I will upgrade to latest-and-greatest andvreport back.

[PeteCress]

Updated to 6.7.5, rebooted, re-ran the backup twice, but no change: same results.

Any other thoughts?

I'm assuming you checked the backup log, and didn't find any errors.

Maybe try creating a second empty share, and create a new backup job for it, and see if that copies everything?  If so, you could delete the primary share, and rename the second one.

That's at best a workaround though, so you'd need to keep monitoring the backup to make sure everything was copied.

[PeteCress]

Yes: Log looks good as far as I can see.   I am guessing that the list of source-device shares at the end of the log is normal.

I manually synch'd both shares yesterday, and now am down to two diffs that were created late yesterday afternoon.

Here's the log:

I am confused by this stuff, there's nothing like it in my logs.

[PeteCress]

Don't feel like the Lone Ranger.... -)

But I have deleted the log and rerun at least 3 times and the same stuff keeps getting appended.

FWIW, it appears to be a listing of each share and it's "Remarks" on the Ultra-6 that the backup job is reading from

[StephenB]

Do you get the same results if you run the rsync job on the other NAS?
