Are you saying the current way we are doing it does NOT support "incremental"
backups after the first full backup?
Oh, the rsync itself will do incremental, however if the filesystem
below is going over VPN it won't work fast. rsync's design expects local
and fast filesystems, direct HDD oder via direct LAN, and not mounted
over VPN.
One of the NAS devices is a readynas duo rnd2100. In the backup section of the
gui, it does say backup:remote::rsync but when i select that and fill in the
info and click test connection, it does not connect. Does this one support the
rsync daemon?
"readynas" says nothing to me.
Maybe it can play a rsync daemon, but it reads like it could backup
itself via rsync to a remote location. You need an rsync daemon on the
other side to receive the data or get the data from. If the other side
is a "real" server and not just a NAS it should be easy, rsync is avail
on nearly all existing OS-es (well, limited to those with network
capabilities).

Subject: Re: Rsync to a Remote NAS
This is like mounting the remote drive via samba and then do a sync,
this is like doing a normal copy job without the deltra transfer
benefits of rsync.
If at all possible you should run an rsync daemon on the NAS box and
then run the rsync command on the other side of the VPN. rsync uses port
873 by default. Or use an extra box connected via LAN (not vpn) to mount
the NAS and run the rsync daemon.
If the NAS is 192.168.123.6 your command on the other side would be:
rsync --verbose --progress --stats --compress --recursive --times
--perms --links --delete /Share/ 192.168.123.6::Backup/EdensLandCorp
You can also turn it around to let the NAS poll the backup, you need to
run an rsync server on the main site then, but only a few officially
support it.

Forgive me if this has been addressed here before. We have a remote office that
we need to backup to our NAS. We have a site to site certificate VPN. The
remote site has over 51gb that needs to be backed up to our NAS over that VPN.
I have tried this command:
rsync --verbose --progress --stats --compress --recursive --times --perms
--links --delete /Share/* / smb://192.168.123.6/Backup/EdensLandCorp
and it just sits there and appears to do nothing. Does rsync make a tarball
first and then put it where it is told to put it or does it just copy the
files/folders over? Maybe it is the smb://xx.xx.xx.xx/whatever that is breaking
it......the bottom line is i need to copy/rsync a directory to a remote server
through a VPN. How is this accomplished?
