September 3, 201411 yr A GUI to enable rsync service would be helpful. I currently modify /etc/rsyncd.conf and /etc/inetd.conf to enable the rsync server. A GUI for the rsync client client would also be nice. A simple feature that allows an entire data disk to be mirrored to a second server would be nice. Perhaps an extendible list that includes source and destination would be more flexible. I need to delete on the destination before syncing to get whole disk mirroring to work. This should also be an option.
September 4, 201411 yr More specific (perhaps I didn't understand well) A GUI to set up server and client for rsync backups.
September 6, 201411 yr Can you install Wembin on top of new unraid? this web admin tool has very much options/modules, rsync config too..
October 8, 201411 yr This would be a great feature. It should be simple and intuitive to backup a share to a USB-connected external drive.
February 9, 201610 yr I would love this! Yes, I know its completely possible to do via CMD, but the goal is to make unRAID more approachable for all users right? The gui is the reason those weaker, more expensive set-top NAS devices do so well, they have great, pretty simple, software (speaking of Synology and QNAP)

November 3, 20169 yr I'd like to give dgaschk's original idea a bump, since modifying the /etc/rsyncd.conf and /etc/inetd.conf files on boot-up has traditionally been done via the go file, a practice that is now deprecated.
March 24, 20242 yr New user here. This is the first thing I noticed. No rsync GUI baked into unRAID (!). Bumping this request up made a decade ago. I hope it will be reconsidered. I currently use Lucky Backup. There has to be a better solution. This is one thing I missed that OMV has.
March 27, 20242 yr I agree: Unraid needs an rsync GUI, especially to enable and configure rsync as a service. rsync has been a basic part of every NAS OS I've ever run or considered, including QNAP, TrueNAS, XigmaNAS, OpenMediaVault, Synology, and Thecus. On those, it wasn't something where you had to 'roll your own' by manually enabling and configuring the rsync service from a command line or choose between multiple Docker rsync implementations. This should be a pretty easy feature to implement, so I hope that Limetech sees fit to make it a standard part of Unraid.
