How to backup from remote to local
I am looking for help on the best method to do scheduled weekly backups from a local NAS to a remote NAS.
Both NAS's are running OS 6.6.1
Local NAS is ReadyNAS Pro 6
Remote NAS is ReadyNAS 516
Both NAS's are connected to readycloud.
I am assuming the best method is to schedule backup jobs to run on the local NAS and send the files to the remote NAS.
One Backup job for each share.
I assume the best protocol is Rsync over remote SSH.
Both NAS's Have Rsync protocall set to read/write for each share.
What entry do I put in the host field.
I would like to schedule the jobs to run weekly during low use times to reduce network traffic.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi , McRob1
How to setup backup job please see below :
you can fill IP in host filed
Note that the above method does not use ReadyCloud - it assumes that both ReadyNAS are on the same network.

Just to amplify this - a method you could use is here: http://kb.netgear.com/29929/ReadyNAS-OS-6-Setting-up-a-backup-job-with-rsync-over-SSH?cid=wmt_netgear_organic
I think you can also set up ZeroTier on both NAS and back up using the ZeroTier IP addresses - perhaps Sandshark can chime in on that.
