ReadyNAS OS 6.4 Item Rsync server Rsync over Remote SSH Description 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 backing up from one ReadyNAS device to another. 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. Backup Job Recommendations By default, all backup jobs are scheduled to run every day. You can edit these settings after you create each backup job. For more information, see Schedule a Backup Job on page 225. The first few times you back up data, it is a good practice to perform the backup manually. With a manual backup, you can make sure that access is granted to the remote backup source or destination and see how long the backup takes to run. You must know how long the backup job takes so that you can allow enough time in the schedule for it to complete before you schedule the next backup. You can run a manual backup after you create each backup job. For more information, see Manually Start a Backup or Recovery Job on page 228. Note Backup and recovery jobs using Time Machine use different procedures. For more information, see Time Machine on page 236. Manage Backup and Recovery Jobs This section covers creating, configuring and deleting backup and recovery jobs. This section also covers manually starting jobs and clearing the job log.
