DescriptionItem
Source or destination is accessed using an Rsync server.
Rsync was originally available for Linux and other UNIX-based operating systems,
but is also popular under Windows and Mac for its efficient use of incremental file
transfers. Using Rsync is the preferred backup method when you are backing up
from one ReadyNAS device to another.
Rsync server
Source or destination is accessed using an Rsync server.
Rsync data transfers to go through a secure, encrypted SSH tunnel. We recommend
using remote SSH when backups are being transferred over the Internet.
Rsync over Remote SSH
8. In the Host field, enter the remote host name.
9. In the Path field, enter the folder path according to the following:
•
If you select a Windows protocol, use a forward slash (/) to separate directories,
for example:
/<share name>/<folder name>
•
If you select the FTP protocol and you want to specify an absolute path, start with
a forward slash (/). A relative path cannot start with a forward slash. For example:
- <relative path>
- /<absolute path>
•
If you select the NFS protocol, specify the export point followed by the path, for
example:
/<export point>/path
•
If you select the Rsync server protocol, specify the module name followed by the
path, for example:
<module name>/path
WARNING: Backing up using the Rsync protocol is for expert users only.
•
If you select the Rsync over Remote SSH protocol, specify the relative or absolute
path, for example:
- <relative path>
- /<absolute path>
