Rsync Replicate

Is it possible to set up two ReadyNAS's to rysnc over the internet using the replicate.readynas functionality.

I can get backups to work over the LAN or across the internet, however I don't seem to see an option to Rsync it (i.e. only copy changed files). It just seems to want to make a copy backup every night which is a massive transfer of data and wasted space.

Doesn't anybody know how to make any backups between two ReadyNAS systems work on a sync basis over the internet?

Btw I'm using 2 ReadyNAS NV +v2 boxes which have the ARM processor so have a v1.1.3-beta install of the replicate addon as the later version seem to only work on x86 architectures.

Thanks in advance for any help

  • Hi Herbio, thanks for you reply, what is the genie app store? is this a netgear marketplace or something?

    Also isn't the Duo V2 different to the N+ V2 which is what I have. I beleive i couldn't get 1.1.5 originally because of the architecture.

    I currently have a trial license for replicate which I am using until i'm sure it will do the job i want then I will purchase the full one. So far it isn't. Do you know if using the full license and version 1.1.5 that you can run the backup in a only modified files kind of mode? So that is isn't doing a full back up every night?

    The Duo and NV+ v2 are the 2-bay and 4-bay ARM models respectively. Genie Apps for ARM should work on both.

    The Genie App for Replicate is free apparently.

    It's planned for that SKU to be discontinued as the free Genie App is now available.
