Rsync backup

Rsync backup

I am attempting to rsync a folder from my Linux host to my Readynas Duo v2. Right now it continually fails after telling me when I test the connection that everything is alright. Has anyone been able to do this and if so how? To be clear I am trying to back up the folder on my Linux machine to the Readynas. Another Linux box is able to back up the contents using rsync from the box I am trying to tell the Readynas to rsync from with no problem.

Re: Rsync backup

I wonder that which options do you choose in backup job's setting ? remote: Rsync Server?
And the folder, as "Backup Source" folder permissions? Full Control? Another machine could access this folder via SMB?

Re: Rsync backup

Start with this, and tweak as necessary. Create a dummy user if you like.

rsync -av foldername someuser@someip::sharename


where foldername is the source
and someuser is *any* user you have created on the box
and someip is the hostname or ip address
and sharename is the rsync share

Works on 5.3.7, and you may want to size the folder first with :
du -sh foldername
