Backup Synology NAS to WD Cloud EX2 Ultra using rsync

[Cerberus]

For whatever reason, the Synology NAS of my client can no longer connect to their MyCloud EX2 Ultra RSYNC server. I think it could have been after a DSM update on their Synology (they started having issues in late December 2023). I’ve also tried upgrading the MyCloud Ex2 Ultra firmware to the latest version (5.27.157) but still nothing.

The RSYNC server configuration is executing correctly and the secrets file is also being generated without issues but the Synology NAS just can’t connect.

My Cloud OS5 uses a modified rsync binary that often results in connection problems. Try installing my Rsync Server app, which uses a standard rsync binary from the Debian repository and generates required files automatically from user input.
