Rsync Server
After enabling Rsync server, your NAS will become a backup server and will allow remote backup
from another ASUSTOR NAS or any other Rsync-compatible servers.
Enable Rsync server: If you wish to permit encrypted backup for clients, please enable support
for encrypted transmission via SSH. If you enable this feature the system will then automatically
enable SSH service (3.2.8 Terminal).
Manage Rysnc User: If you wish to create restrictions on the Rsync connections that can back up
to your NAS, please click on Manage Users to create different Rsync user accounts.
Reminder: Rsync accounts are different and independent from system accounts.
Add New Backup Modules: Click on Add to create a new backup module. Each backup module
will then correspond to a physical path within the system. When an Rsync client connects to your
NAS, it will be able to select a backup module. Data will then be backed up to the module’s
corresponding physical path.
