dgaschk Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment
Fireball3 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 More specific (perhaps I didn't understand well) A GUI to set up server and client for rsync backups. Quote Link to comment
uldise Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Can you install Wembin on top of new unraid? this web admin tool has very much options/modules, rsync config too.. Quote Link to comment
CUclimber Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 This would be a great feature. It should be simple and intuitive to backup a share to a USB-connected external drive. Quote Link to comment
JackOfAllTech Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 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) Quote Link to comment

John_M Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment
finish06 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I think this would be a great addition! Quote Link to comment
TopQuark Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 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. Quote Link to comment
Miss_Sissy Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 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. Quote Link to comment
