Using Rsync for Strato Hidrive

[gagagu]

Hi,

i want to use the rsync protocoll to backup my readynas 2100 to strato hidrive.

I'm using the following configuration (user and foldername are replaced with <>):

Host: rsync.hidrive.strato.com

Path: /users/<my username>/<foldername>

User: <my Username>

Password: <my Password>

compression: off

delete files on target: on

fat32: off

When i will test the connection i will get the error "Unguilty path" or "incorrect path" (translated for german)

I've tested the following:

path: /users/<my username>/<foldername>  --> "Unguilty path" or "incorrect path" (translated for german)

path: users/<my username>/<foldername>  --> "error on connect to rsync.hidrive.strato.com"

path: <nothing> --> "success connection to server" but i'm not able to save the configuration without any path.

Then i will take a look into the error log i seems that the server will use a "::" instead of a ":" betweeen server and folder

see:

Auftrag: 002
Protokoll: rsync
Quelle: [c]/
Ziel: rsync.hidrive.strato.com::/users/<username>/<foldername>

ERROR: The remote path must start with a module name not a /
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1534) [sender=3.0.9]

Sicherung fehlgeschlagen. Wed Jan 27 13:58:59 CET 2016.

Fehlerursache:
Fehler beim Kopieren der Daten vom Quellpfad /c/ ==> rsync.hidrive.strato.com::/users/<username>/<foldername> aufgrund unbekannter Ursachen. Sehen Sie bitte das Protokoll ein. .

Any idas? Thanks forward

Hi, i have found the issue. SSH was enabled on Hidrive and i'm without ssh atm. (for tests). It seems to work now.

Thx

Check the source share on the 2100 and make sure that rsync is enabled for it.  Stay with  /users/<my username>/<foldername> in the path field.
