February 20, 20206 yr As the title suggests I'm trying to backup my synology server to unraid. I am not using ssh keys but just standard user/pass. i thought it would be as simple as adding the new user to an allow list of some sort.. I can get hyper backup to do this if i use the root credentials but i cannot seem to find how to grant a "backup" user rsync privileges?
February 20, 20206 yr Is your Synology on the same network? If so just use Unassigned Devices to mount the SMB share and do the rsync to the UD mount instead.
February 21, 20206 yr Author Thanks for the prompt reply. I appreciate the help and I'll test it this way, but i really want to know what i need to do to enable rsync on my backup account user.
April 15, 20206 yr Hi Fluffy - yes you can. You'll need the SSH Plugin which allows you to setup a user with a home and /bin/bash profile. I use my "backup-user" to SSH into unRAID and i've actually disabled SSH as root.

It seems to work fine for me at least - it allows the owner of my backed-up files to be that user, and means i don't have to SSH as root. Maybe it depends what you're trying to do? Do you know of any specific side-affects?
