Hi all,

 

Is there a way to get my unRaid server to accept rsync connections? I'm trying to set up automated backups.

 

Thanks,

David

Or, alternatively, is there some way to use the rsync binary that is on the server to talk to my client? With no ssh binary as well it's hard to make a secure connection to do the rsync.

Here's how we use rsync server mode.

 

1. In the go file, add this at the end:

# Install and start rsync
rsync --daemon --config=/boot/config/rsyncd.conf

 

2. Our rsyncd.conf file looks like this:

gid = root
uid = root
log file = /var/log/resyncd.log

[backup]
        path = /mnt/disk4/Backup
        comment = Backup
        read only = no
        list = yes

 

 

What version of UnRaid has rsync built in?  Or do I have to install the pkg also?

 

thanks,

 

It got put into 3.0 "final".  You should not have to install the package, but you will need to set up a config file as described previously.
