Differential (Bi-Directional) Backups RN3220 Series
Quick (they never are) question about running NAS to NAS backups... I have (2) RN3220 units where unit 2 backs up unit 1 weekly. About a month ago we decided to remove a Synology Rackstation from our NAS environment and migrated it into the RN3220 ecosystem. The Synology was being used to backup photo images to the tune of about 2.7TB dating back to 2003 thru 2016. At some point in time our backup software (3rd party) that pulls images from each laptop editing station was changed and rather than continue to add images to the Synology RS units, it started to backup to RN3220-01. Here is where I need a solution, I need to perform some type of differential or bi-directional backup between the Synology and the RN3220 or I can move all the files from the Synology to a directory on the RN3220 where something can run to sync the files and get them worked out as 1 chronological folder system. I ran an rsync “pull” from the Synology and thought it would do a differential backup but that wasn’t the case. I’ve spent a few days trying to figure out a solution but I’m fried, anyone have any suggestion on what I can do to process 2 folders with different and same files and directories where I wind up with 1 seamless backup. For a better picture of how things are organized now, in the PhotoCluster directory pictures are sent to folders that correspond to Year, Month, Date and Camera Model so basically it plays out like this: PhotoCluster P:. ├───2016_04 │ ├───2016_04_03 │ │ └───2016_04_03_NIKON D610 │ ├───2016_04_22 │ │ └───2016_04_22_NIKON D4 │ ├───2016_04_28 │ │ ├───2016_04_28_NIKON D4 │ │ └───2016_04_28_No Model Info │ └───2016_04_30 │ └───2016_04_30_NIKON D4 Directory now has all images shot on 04_30_ 2016 from a Nikon D4 At this time 1 unit has newer info then the other and it's not just in the year 2016, images were deposited from several machines with files that dated through the last decade so to manually sync it would take monhts! The goal is to sync everything into 1 new master folder. Thanks in advance, MiguelSolved4.4KViews0likes3Comments
