I have a problem if I try to syncronize the folders between Synology NAS and WD over rsync.
I need the way to transfer the files between NASes without downloading it to my PC. So NAS<->NAS not NAS<->PC<->NAS. I’m also open for the other solutions.
Rsync doesnt appear to be installed on the EX2. Unless you want to build your own custom firmware I would suggest that you add this to the Network Prooduct Ideas section of the site located at the following link;
Since this would enable file syncing between the WD device and other NAS devices running the Rsync service I would think that WD may be interested in adding it. I would vote for it.
Synology and QNAP our both running RSYNC on several of their NAS devices so this would be a nice enhancement for the EX2 / EX4 series.
Rsync is actually installed on the EX2. You can ssh into the device and just run “rsync --help” to see all the possible rsync options and usage. But as far as I know, there is no GUI interface that offers rsync from the dashboard - unless one of the dashboard’s backup options are actually using rsync behind-the-scenes but is not explicitly stating so.
But I think if you do it from the command line, you may have (not sure as I haven’t closely looked and compared) more options than perhaps a more standard set of options in the GUI.
