Readynas backup feature request

[jgolsteyn]

Hello,

We are using multiple readynas devices and use the standard backup feature to backup data between them. We use the rsync over ssh method for this.
One problem is that you cannot limit the bandwidth during a backup and it uses the complete bandwidth when using a VPN connection.

I made a workaround, by replacing the rsync command, but this is off course system wide, and cannot be set per backup.

mv /usr/bin/rsync /usr/bin/rsync2
echo "/usr/bin/rsync2 --bwlimit=200 \"\$\@\""> /usr/bin/rsync
chmod +x /usr/bin/rsync

--bwlimit=KBPS limit I/O bandwidth; KBytes per second

I preferred to have the feature available through the readynas userinterface. Maybe this feature could be added for the next release?


Thanks!

Small correction to the command: the @ does not need to be quoted:

mv /usr/bin/rsync /usr/bin/rsync2
echo "/usr/bin/rsync2 --bwlimit=200 \"\$@\""> /usr/bin/rsync
chmod +x /usr/bin/rsync
