Backup -> Source -> Remote Rsync Server -> Port

[mountainpatrick]

I'm using a:
NAS 516
Firmware 6.1.4

And setup a "Backup -> Source -> Remote Rsync Server"
Since there is nowhere in frontview to set a Port, I edited /etc/frontview/backup_jobs.conf by finding my job (backupJob), then editing the line: "<src_port>0</src_port>" and changing the 0 to the port I need to use. (default 0 means use the default port 873).

This job now runs correctly using the alternative rsync port using a remote server.

My questions are:
1. Will frontview add an option for the rsync server port in a future firmware?
2. If I manually edit /etc/frontview/backup_jobs.conf via the root shell login, will the system try to revert the change by any events, especially firmware upgrades.

Thanks for any input.

Similar requests, for Rsync+SSH custom port, have been waiting for a long time, with no updates.

Editing the backup_jobs.conf file does not stick, the port is reverted.
Developers please add this now, this should have been added first and before any NAS that can do rsync was released. Shame on you.

Hi!

Is there any news about this?
At home I'm running an Ultra 2 with SSH Rsync Add-on installed and wan't to change the outgoing port, from 22 to something more "higher"...
