RSYNC does nothing
Man this ReadyNAS 516 has me puzzled.. it's nifty and much faster than my old nvx but man.. simple things just don't work sometimes. Anway.. I'm having trouble doing an rsync of my user folders from my nvx to my 516. This is all the logs have. Backup Job Name: nvx to 516 rsync 2 Backup Job Type: Full Protocol: rsync Backup Source: [remote:rsync]/192.168.22.210:: Backup Destination: [home:dtarn]/ Backup Start Time: Wed Sep 21 2016 20:55:31 Backup Finish Time: Wed Sep 21 2016 20:55:31 Backup Status: Success Notice the job type and then start and finish times. Basically it did a whole lot of nothing and it said Success? WTF? I know rsync works as I'm able to rsync one of the non user shares with no issue runs like a charm. -------- Now, here's the thing, the rsync used to work. However since I"m still playing around with the 516 I decided to turn on ready cloud to see how it worked. Didn't like it much so I decided to turn it off. Then it gave me the big bad warning about home folders being deleted. I said "ok", this was not my primary data source so I let it delete the users. When I recreated the users, I noticed rsync wouldn't restore the files anymore for the user shares even after making it do a full restore. Is that because rsync somewhere is keeping a history of the files it's backed up?? If so how do I reset that so it knows to start from scratch? (I though just doing a full backup would do, but apparently not.). Is there some obvious detail in configuring rsync for home folders that I could be forgetting or is something funny is going on with my NAS setup?4KViews0likes7Comments
