I have a new unraid box and a ubuntu box on a LAN. I would like to backup ubuntu to unraid server. Unraid server will be turned on once a week and the backup run manually.

 

I think I have the syntax correct and have been using a similar command to do it locally. However just cant seem to get it working over the LAN.

 

sean@mong:~$ rsync -avh --exclude 'lost+found' --stats --progress --delete /home/sean/mongdrive/ [email protected]:/backup
[email protected]'s password: 
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(235) [sender=3.1.2]

mong is my Ubuntu box

192.168.0.100 is unraid

 

Do i have to setup rsync on the unraid server somehow?

I'm not sure even where to start to be honest.

 

Thankyou

You need to specify the full path, assuming "backup" is the share name it would be "/mnt/user/backup"

Thanks, but that gives me the same error. 

Then you have other issues, unfortunately error 12 can mean a lot of different things, take a look here:
