What is a rsyncd.pid file. When I look inside /var/run that file does not exist.

I'm telneting with putty and then use mc. My rsyncd.conf file exists in both locations: /boot/custom/etc /etc To begin with I used mc within putty but I did not know how to create a new file so i just opened some file and edited it to look like rsyncd.conf and saved it as rsyncd.conf, was that OK?

I've noticed something else. >> 1. Do I create file "rsyncd.conf" similar to yours and place it in /etc/rsyncd.conf Yes, but you will also need to copy and save this file somewhere on your flash drive. We recommend /boot/custom/etc Do both locations of rsyncd.conf suppose to be on flash : /etc/rsyncd.conf /boot/custom/etc/rsyncd.conf because that is what I have. It seams that rsync is ignoring my rsyncd.conf .

Hi. What I mean by "Virtual directory name" is when I click the button to "Fetch virtual directories from the remote server" I thought I suppose to get a "backup" but 'm getting a text that looks like an rsync readme file. Thanks

User error I've mistyped a host name. Now I have established a connection in DeltaCopy client with rsync on "UNRAID" but for "Virtual directory name" I'm getting weird stuff like a text of a readme file. Any ideas?

Hi. Thanks for quick reply. I'm still missing something. Here is my rsyncd.config file gid = root uid = root use chroot = 4 max connections = 4 pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid timeout = 600 [backup] path = /mnt/disk1/Backup comment = Backup read only = FALSE list = yes and her is my go file: #!/bin/bash # Start the Management Utility /usr/local/sbin/emhttp & /boot/init-powerdown ethtool -s eth0 wol g /boot/custom/etc/rc.d/S20-init.rsyncd but my rsync client does not communicate with rsync on unraid. I'm using unraid 4.3.1 is rsync build in or do I have to install it? Thanks

Hi. Sorry for late reply. I would like to run rsync server on unraid system so I can run rsync clients to do backups to unraid. So : 1.Do I create file "rsyncd.conf" similar to yours and place it in /etc/rsyncd.conf 2.Create a file "S20-init.rsyncd" looking like this : #!/bin/bash if ! grep ^rsync /etc/inetd.conf > /dev/null ; then cat <<-EOF >> /etc/inetd.conf rsync stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/bin/rsync --daemon EOF read PID < /var/run/inetd.pid kill -1 ${PID} fi and plce it in /boot/custom/etc/rc.d/ 3.What do you mean call it from /boot/config/go script Excuse my ignorance but linux is something completely new to me. Thanks

Thanks for replying. I've tried Deltacopy with freenas server and it works fine. My problem is I do not know how to configure rsync on unraid system. Freenas has a nice graphical interface so for some one like me who knows squat about linux it was easy to configure. Did anybody ever written a guide how to do rsync on unraid? Thanks.

Hi. I'm either blind or just can't find any info on setting up rsync between unraid and windows xp. Keep in mind that I'm complete noob when it come to Linux. Any info highly appreciated. Thanks.
