Folder problem with READYNAS backup to QNAP
Greetings: I recently purchased a QNAP-671 to which I am trying to transfer all my files from my READYNAS316 by Rsync. I have done this previously between 2 x READYNAS devices without a hitch. The problem at the moment relates to the Path. Here is the problem I am encountering: Photo folder on READYNAS - Files to be transferred to QNAP Photo folder. Rsync Server setup on QNAP 2 way sync etc. All shares are enabled with sync enabled. On READYNAS I input the destination folder as 'Photo' only. I tried all other combinations with/without slashes, including share and even full path with CACHEDEV1_DATA - they all kick up errors. When the files sync, which they do, the QNAP creates a Photo folder inside the Photo folder (which then includes all the files) eg. /share/Photo/Photo/file1, file2 etc. I know I can then move them but this shouldn't be necessary. I can't for the life of me work out why this is happening and am hoping someone can assist. Thanks.Solved4.7KViews0likes1Comment
The genie+ Marketplace is no longer available on RND2000-200NAS
So here we go again. Running product, go to update it, still stuck on firmware 5.3.11. Client needs Wordpress on the device, just pop on apps, and make it happen. Oh, wait, this is an old one, need to do the Genie crap. Oh, yeah, The genie+ Marketplace is no longer available Oh, yeah, Great.... So Lets see, Netgear abandoned the service, long after the firmware updates were abandoned. Apparently Netgear is just taking the Microsloth approach of screw it, let them pay more money to upgrade to a new product....when the lifetime of the product is obviously not over...because it is still running. Total failure, if you abandon a product, then months or years later abandon the external functionallity that you actually paid for, at least re-write a final firmware to remove the options, or allow for a library of "non-supported avaliable apps". This is absoulty the last straw for me. I am going to find a vendor to make me a hell of a deal for me so I can deploy QNAP to every small business I have....just off the top of my head, I have 14 clients on some leve of a ready nas. I am done. Then I will buy one extra QNAP, backup the clients data, build their new QNAP with the drives that have minimal hours on them and deploy the QNAP, restore data. Final straw with this nonesense.... Like if I have an XP box that I need to run for some reason, and the vendor removed a drive that was/has been avaliable for years, just becasue they abandoned the product.... Good luck with it.... Next it will be replacing all my WIFI routers with another vendor. You are dead to me now....thanks Netgear.7.2KViews3likes1Comment
