rsync+ssh - logs show success, but no files copied

[raden10]

I have got two ReadyNAS drives  - one at Work and one at Home - connected over WAN via SSH - a 102 and a 202. Both are on 6.5.2.

I have three (large!) backup jobs set up over this connection. I did the initial setup by doing an rsync over my Home LAN using a regular rsync, then moving the 202 to the Work location and modifying the config of same job to work over WAN using rsync+ssh. I set up this way rather than going straight to rsync+ssh because of the volume of data I am moving and the slow connection speed.

I am probably backing up between 1 and 50Mb a day, but the overall archive size for each jon is hundred of Gb - which would take months over the internet.

The jobs run every day, example log:

Backup Job Name: Lush Data to ReadyNASHome
Backup Job Type: Incremental
Protocol: rsync+ssh
Backup Source: [Documents]/
Backup Destination: [remote:rsync+ssh]/XX.XXX.XX.XX://data/Documents/docs/
Backup Start Time: Thu Oct 6 2016 1:05:04
Backup Finish Time: Thu Oct 6 2016 1:07:29
Backup Status: Success

sending incremental file list

{List of Files}
sent 8,632,949 bytes received 57,445 bytes 60,985.22 bytes/sec
total size is 313,293,977,256 speedup is 36,050.61

...however, if I check the files on the destination drive, no files are actually being copied.

The {List of Files} are always what I would expect, everything that has been modified that day. They never include files that should have been copied yesterday.

So the sync operation seems to be updating the list of files that it should be copying, without actually copying the files temselves.

Any ideas welcome.... just let me know if you need more info on my setup.

Hello raden10,

You might want to update to FW version 6.6.0.
