You can specify five of them on one page. By the way, the ReadyNAS Duo can itself work as these servers, which may be handy for small LANs or nonstandard applications.Īccess control is implemented using the traditional mechanism of users and groups. You can find the usual network settings here: IP address (specified manually or obtained from a DHCP server), network name, workgroup name, DNS and WINS servers. The NAS has one Gigabit Ethernet port with support for Jumbo Frames (if turned on, the MTU parameter is set at 7936 bytes). In the FleX-RAID mode, you can create multiple disk volumes on a single HDD using a part of the whole capacity for each. Switching between the FleX-RAID and X-RAID modes is only done with data loss through the RAIDar utility. May you all benefit from my frustration! It's rsync time.If you use the FleX-RAID mode, you can create disk volumes manually (including two volumes of different sizes) or a RAID0 array out of two disks.

Now I just need to set up an auto move schedule on the Syno to move the various subfolders in 'media' to their corresponding folders. At least that's my understanding - someone please correct me if I'm wrong. SO.it looks like the path was the problem - Syno's rsync puts the NetBackup folder at the top of the tree - you don't need to put 'volume1' in the path. Hit "Test Connection" and BAM: I get "Successfully connected to 192.168.2.10". Path: NetBackup/media Went back into ReadyNAS and entered the following into my Step 2 - Select backup destination: Then use any rsync client with as destination The third entry from contremaitre got me thingling (and possibly because it WASN'T 04:00 and I had gotten some sleep):
Grsync readynas how to#
I did a quick Google on "synology custom rsync configuration command line" and one of the links was on how to run rsync daemon. u/eafarris gave me such a huge breadcrumb, I can't even thank him / her enough, though my prize should give some measure of my gratitude. I'll give you a prize if you can help me. I hope one of you have also gone through this and can help. I am limited in my ssh knowledge so please be gentle with fixes relating to that method. Where would I go to check (I've gone through every pane in DSM)? The other alternative is I can NFS the data over to the Syno, but while that would allow me to target the specific share destination for data I want to transfer, it doesn't have the rsync advantage of comparing current files - I would have to blast the current files away and re-write the files.which causes more wear and tear on the drives AND shouldn't be necessary as the video folder isn't updated consistently. Possible solutions: The above leads me to believe that the Syno is blocking access somehow. I've also tried logging in as either "root" and "rsync" (both paired with the admin password) with the various host options mentioned - all failed. I've ensured that the "Network Backup Destination" and "Network Backup Volume" services in Control Panel > Info > Service are enabled. I've confirmed that the "Enable Network Backup Service" and "Use customized rsync configuration" checkboxes in Backup & Replication > Backup Services are checked. Solutions tried: I've used the following host options (where "IP" is the whole prefix): IP:22, IP:873, IP:6281 (ports taken from here). Note: the above settings were the settings used on the CS and worked perfectly. Unfortunately, ReadyNAS doesn't give details on the error. When I click "Test Connection", I get the following: "Error connecting to 192.168.2.10". The problem is that I can't get the ReadyNAS to connect to the Syno. photos, videos, music, etc.) to the appropriate top-level share. THEN I can have the Syno automatically move the subfolders (e.g. If I want to back up my 'media' folder on my ReadyNAS to the Syno, I have to create the following folder: volume1/NetBackup/media. Sidenote: as far as I understand rsync backs up the data to the volume1/NetBackup share only - i.e. In Step 2 of the documentation above, I have to specify the backup destination. Now, I had rsync set up on the CS but maybe I'm missing something when I upgraded to DSM 3.2 to 5.2. Instructions for setting up rsync on the ReadyNAS are here so we're all on the same page. I'm trying to keep the ReadyNas as the primary appliance where I dump videos and have it rsync to the Syno where I can then do other stuff with it (as the Syno is more "up to date", so to speak).īut I've hit the most infuriating block with rsync. So I decided to put the CS407e remote backup issue on the backburner for now as I complete setup of the DS411j. Would prefer to stick with rsync than go with NFS (which I can connect to). I suspect a host address failure but not sure how to check.
