I selected Rsync server as the Server type instead of NAS server, which is used for QNAP NAS targets. (Synology provides only an rsync enable.)įigure 4: QNAP Remote replication (rsync)Ĭlicking the New button brings up the Add a remote replication job screen (Figure 5). Figure 4 shows the controls, which include separate enables for rsync serving and target and the ability to change the default rsync port number. QNAP refers to its NAS-to-NAS backup feature as Remote Replication, which is found under the System Tools menu. The rsync setups on the Synology and QNAP NASes are similar, but each has features that the other doesn’t. But once that was done, and everything was set up, the Synology to NV+ rsync ran just fine. I won’t show the other tabs, since the Backup folder tab just presents a list of DS109+ shares and checkboxes to select them for backup, the Application tab provides backup selects for the Synology’s MySQL, Photo Station and Blog databases and the Scheduled Backup tab is self-explanatory.Īgain, the tricky part was figuring out the ReadyNAS rsync module name. test, along with the username and password that I established for it over on the NV+. So that’s what I entered in Figure 3, i.e. Once you have enabled rsync for a ReadyNAS folder, its name can be used as the rsync module name. In Figure 3, I’ve circled the key information in this screen that I had to ferret out of the ReadyNAS documentation-the rsync module name. But I’ll use the edit window to show you what I did.įigure 3: Synology Backup to NV+ settings With the NV+ set up, I moved over to the DS109+ and used the Backup wizard to set up the backup. You will need to establish a username and password for the rsync target folder, because the Synology won’t rsync to a public folder. But you can only see the top of the Rsync Password Option portion of the form, which provides room for three users’ login credentials. You can see the setting for Default Access permission at the top and the Share Access Restrictions, which let you limit access to specific hosts / IP addresses for additional security. Clicking on the Rsync icon brings up the edit window for services shown in Figure 2.įigure 1: Enabling rsync for a ReadyNAS NV+ folderįigure 2 illustrates one of the continuing annoyances of the ReadyNAS admin interface-its fixed height window. Figure 1 shows the share named test that I created. So here it is.įirst, we need to add a share on the NV+, then enable the rsync service for it. Synology to NETGEARīut first, a reader asked if I could describe how to do the opposite of the backup described in the previous article, i.e. This time, I’ll be setting up rsync between the DS109+ and a QNAP TS-109 Pro. In Part 1, I described using rsync to back up files from a NETGEAR ReadyNAS NV+ that I am retiring to a Synology DS109+.
