How to back up home folders with rsync?
I need a way to incrementally back up user home folders from our ReadyNAS Pro 6 main server to our ReadyNAS 104 backup server. Both are firmware current at 6.8.1. I've tried setting up rsync backup jobs, both pulling from the 104 and pushing from the Pro 6, but I get permissions errors and the backups fail. I need a simple way to do incremental home folder backup. Any advice on steps that will work? Thanks!4.1KViews0likes10CommentsHow to restore user home folders From C volume backup?
I'm in the process of restoring data to our main NAS from the backup NAS. Both are running OS 6.8.0. The backup is a C volume copy pushed nightly from the main NAS via rsync when it was running RAIDiator 4.x firmware. With OS6, volume copy is no longer available so I'm rsyncing the backed up share folders into their approprate shares on the main NAS. This is working fine for all share folders except user folders in home. I'm unable to set up a rsync job with the main NAS home share as a destination. I was able to set up a backup job to a temporary transfer share I created as destination. Question - is this the only way to restore the user home folders? Do I have to rsync the backups to a regular share, then once on the NAS move them into their proper user folders? What is the current best practice for backing up and restoring user home folders? Thanks!Solved1.1KViews0likes1CommentHome Folders not created with new user
Greetings- My ReadyNAS 312 is using the latest firmware. When I create a new user, that user does not get a new home folder automatically. Also, I the "create new folder" icon is grayed-out, so I cannot manually create new folders. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks ,Bill3KViews0likes3Comments
