How can one specify a different ssh port when using rsync?
Hello, I currently have a number of ReadyNAS Pro 6000 series NAS devices (RNDP6000). [I bought them last year, not knowing there was a newer, shinier, better model coming out shortly thereafter.] Either way, however, I am having issues with rsync over ssh. In short, is it possible to specify a different ssh port when using rsync in FrontView? Here are a few important facts 1) I can not use ssh port 22. My setup requires I use port numbers other than port 22 2) I can not have the router port forward to port 22 from an arbritrary external port as the source computer hosts a number of virtual machines and port 22 goes to a different virtual host which does not need to be backed-up. In short I can't get port forwarding tricks to work in this setup. 3) I do not want to use rsync without ssh as I value the encryption 4) I am using the RNDP6000 as the target device for the backup -- the source of the data is coming from a linux server (Redhat) 5) Because the source data is coming from a non-NAS devices, options such as Replicate are not an option I have tried a combination of the following for the FrontView rsync over ssh host address: mymachine.com:26, mymachine.com -p 26, mymachine.com, 26 where 26 is an example port number. Has anyone gotten this to work? I find it hard to belive that this can not be configured. But perhaps that is the case. Any help would be greatly appreciated! JoseBackup, snapshots Best Practices
Looking for best practices for both Backups and Snapshots - including: - a clear differentiation between the two, why use backup vs. snapshot - why & when to use each, - snapshot & backup retention - daily/weekly/ monthly/ ? intervals & retention -space management -Off-site or secondary device backup (Ready DR to on or offsite backup NAS) -use of NAS 'enhancements' - added memory, 10GbE Nics, SSD drives, etc. Thanks in advance!
