Setting up rsync backup with Synology DiskStation (DSM 5.0)

General

A NAS is a storage medium with a network connection, data can be stored centrally and are Network & Internet available at all times. For this purpose Synology provides a feature-rich and intuitive software.


Before You Start

This article assumes that you have done the following tasks for your DiskStation:

  • Hardware installation for Synology NAS.
  • Software installation for Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM, web-based operating system of Synology NAS).

Note

  • Under Linux only the accounts "admin", "root" and "rsync" are allowed to perform backup tasks.
  • If you are backing up files from a DiskStation to your own rsync-compatible server, you will need to input the correct rsync backup account name and password. You will also need to choose the correct backup module with Write privilege.

There are 2 backup modes for backing up from Synology DiskStation to your rsync-compatible server:

  1. remote shell mode > mode will be enabled only when you enter an absolute path (starting with "/") in Backup module, and it only supports encrypted backup.
  2. rsync > is used when you select a backup module (shared folder on the rsync-compatible server) from the drop-down menu next to Backup module.
