ReadyNAS Duo V2 - Synology DS1517+ transfer using rsync
So I've finally upgraded to a new NAS (Synology DS1517+) and need to transfer about 3TB of files across from my ReadyNAS Duo V2. A mate said to use rsync, but I haven't been able to get it workin...

Are you asking about the ReadyNAS or the Synology?
Synology
You shouldn't need to enable it on the ReadyNAS share if you are running rsync on the ReadyNAS. But you should see the control for that on configure->shares. See page 34 here: https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS%20ARM-PLATFORM%20(DUO%20V2,%20NV+%20V2)/RAIDiator%205.3%20SW%20Manual_5Sep12.pdf
do I need to change any of the share settings? (see attached)
That screen grab is from the ReadyNAS. It's the Synology side that you need to be sure has rsync enabled for the share (if Synology even requires that) and that the user you are specifying for the job has both rsync and share permissions there. Those are discussions best discussed in a Synology forum.
You don't just send the content of a share or folder and the target kinows from the source name where to put it. You have to specify the destination in the backup job, and that destination has to exist and have the correct properties.
