backing up to synology nas
by ultra99 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#56VET)
There are 2 things that I want to backup: 1. Downloads folder 2. An entire ssd named "dataDrive"
This is the guide that I followed and was working for quite some time:
https://www.therapeuticshub.com/rsync-backup-synology/
`rsync -avvvhW -e "ssh -p [port number]" [file or folder path] [user@ip_address]::NetBackup/`
However, for some reason, I'm getting "permission denied" errors, in making new directories onto my NAS, for example, one of the errors:
> rsync: recv_generator: mkdir "Downloads/Photos" (in NetBackup) failed: Permission denied (13)
> *** Skipping any contents from this failed directory ***
and I double checked that the user, "rsync" has Read/Write permissions to NetBackup folder in the NAS, via user accounts.
I even gave "Full Control" to the "Downloads" and "dataDrive" folders in NetBackup in Synology.
I'm on Manjaro Gnome, btw.
Any ideas?
