SOLVED Backing Up FreeNAS to Synology

[paukyducky]

Hi All,
I am pretty new to this and know that this topic has been floating around a lot, but despite all I read I really couldn't find a straight forward method to backup my FreeNAS to my Synology with DSM 5.2...

I looked into getting Rsync to work, but none of the tutorials work. Such as:

https://www.mattwall.co.uk/2016/04/03/rsync-to-synology-from-freenas.html

https://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?t=86270

Is there any way to just sync a shared folder on FreeNAS? For example backing up Photos folder to the shared folder on the Synology automatically?

Thank you! I really appreciate any help and tips!

I have Freenas syncing (via rsync) my photos directory (about 300Gb) to a similar directory on my little under powered synology box (DS411j, running DSM 6.latest). I am fairly sure that I followed the steps in the first link (mattwall...) and it all works for me.

What part of the steps listed don't work for you?

Thanks for the reply! I was an idiot. I solved it. I couldn't find the RSync tab in the File Services area.

Glad its all working.

I refuse to admit to the number of times I started a sentence with "I was an idiot" when dealing with tech..... :)
