You should now be able to see the new backup module under the Backup Modules heading.Ģ.2 Creating an Rsync backup job on the local ASUSTOR NAS.Enter a name for the new module and then click on to select the path that the files for this module will be saved to. The Add New Backup Module window will now appear.

Finally, click on under the Backup Modules heading.Please remember that you must enable the Rsync Server service on an ASUSTOR NAS before you are able to use Rsync to back up to it. In this section we will enable the Rsync Server service and then proceed to create a backup module for storing backup jobs. In the following example, we will take you through the process of using Rsync to backup data from a local ASUSTOR NAS to a different remote ASUSTOR NAS.ĪSUSTOR NAS is able to function both as an Rsync server and Rsync client which means you can either use your NAS as a centralized backup server or back up your NAS to another NAS or Rsync compatible server.Ģ.1 Enabling the Rsync server service on the remote ASUSTOR NAS By only transferring the differences between two sets of files, Rsync can help you to significantly reduce bandwidth usage. For example, if you have made some small changes to a 10 MB file, incremental backup will only copy the portions that you have made changes to. Incremental backup allows for successive backup jobs (after your first backup job) to only copy data that has changed since your last backup job.

By providing block level replication, Rsync is able to offer incremental backup. It provides block level replication and is appropriate for use with files and data that are always changing. Rsync is a network protocol that is used to synchronize files and directories from one location to another.
