NAS backup to Windows
1 TopicRSync server for Windows
I'm looking at options for backing up ReadyNAS (OS 6.6.0 for the moment) shares to a Windows based box. Delta Copy looked like a good RSync solution for Windows. But the NAS-initialed backup does not seem to properly identify which files are unchanged and do not need to be backed up. The whole reason for using RSync was to gain the advantages of the incremental backup and deletion of files on the target that no longer exist on the source. Shares being backed up are user home shares, so a pull from the Windows box instead of a push from the NAS is not an option. Could the fact that it's for home shares be contributing to the issue? It's an NTFS file system, so the "Enable FAT32 Compatibility" checkbox doesn't seem like it's the solution, at least per the manual's description of it. I haven't yet tried it. Is anyone else using an RSync server solution on a Windows box together with a ReadyNAS and has everything working properly?9KViews0likes7Comments
