iBackup, rsync, and TS-419P
Posted: Mon Feb 01, 2010 3:32 am
Hi,
I'm trying to use rsync to backup my NAS to iBackup, but it keeps failing, and I'm not certain how to fix it. It fails when I use the administration website, and if I examine the contents of /tmp/rsync-out, the log contains the following:
rsync: The server is configured to refuse --links (-l)
rsync error: requested action not supported (code 4) at clientserver.c(790) [receiver=2.6.9]
rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer (104)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(759) [sender=3.0.6]
This seems like a straightforward issue, although I don't believe that I have symlinks in the folder tree I am trying to backup because the files were copied from my windows box via the Qmultimedia smb share. As a test, I wanted to sending a single file from the NAS via the shell, but it fails for a different reason. The command I am using is (from root's home folder):
rsync -r -v -z --password=<mypassword> /root/testfile <myaccount>@206.221.210.71::ibackup
The failure message is:
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(600) [sender=3.0.6]
Everything works fine If I cut and paste the command over to a windows or linux box with rsync installed (The windows version doesn't support the --password option, so I type it when prompted). I thought that my rsync invocation may be suspect, so I also attempted to add a new "target" to the administration website with the "/root/testfile" account as the contents, but it doesn't show up in the website dropdown box.
As is, I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this further. Does anyone have tips or insight?
Thanks,
Ritch
