1-44 Configuring Your ReadyNAS
v1.0, October 2007
• Rsync server. Select this if you wish to perform backups from a rsync server. Rsync was
originally available for Linux and other flavors of UNIX, but has lately become popular under
Windows and Mac for its efficient use of incremental file transfers. This is the preferred
backup method between two ReadyNAS devices.
Once you have selected a backup source, you can enter the path from that source. If you selected a
ReadyNAS share, you can either leave the path blank to backup the entire share, or enter a folder
path. Note that you should use forward slashes (/), in place of backslashes (\).
If you selected a remote source, each remote protocol uses a slightly different notation for the path.
If the path field is empty, selecting the remote source in the pull-down menu shows an example
format of the path. Following are some examples:
• Examples of an FTP path:
ftp://myserver/mypath/mydir
ftp://myserver/mypath/mydir/myfile
• Examples of a website path:
http://www.mywebsite.com
http://192.168.0.101/mypath/mydir
• Examples of a Windows or remote NAS path:
//myserver/myshare
//myserver/myshare/myfolder
//192.168.0.101/myshare/myfolder
• Examples of an NFS path:
myserver:/mypath
192.168.0.101:/mypath/myfolder
• Examples of a Rsync path:
myserver::mymodule/mypath
192.168.0.101::mymodule/mypath
• Examples of a local path:
myfolder
media/Videos
My Folder
