I had rsync pull working on my FreeNAS machine many months ago but, having upgraded my Linux desktop hardware and switched from Ubuntu to Manjaro, I decided to redo all my rsync tasks -- but without success so far.
The Guide tells me to define the rsync module in Services ➞ Rsync Configure ➞ Rsync Module, ADD
then start the rsync service on PULL in Services
I have defined the Module, but I cannot see a PULL option in Services. I turn on the rsync Service, but nothing happens: no data transfer, no error message, nothing. And even if it would work, I see no option to define how frequently the job would run.
I have already had rsync PUSH jobs running from the Linux desktop to the FreeNAS machine, but what I really want is to have rsync PULL jobs running on the FreeNAS machine scheduled to backup different machines on the LAN on different days of the week.
