Hi everyone,
I am trying to find out how I can use a FreeNAS at home as a remote backup server for a WD MyCloud EX2 which is at my work. I don't have the FreeNAS build yet, since I would like to understand more about it before I do, but this is what I have been able to find out for creating an rsync task so far:
1) Enable ssh and create an ssh key on WD
2) Enable rsync on WD
3) Copy the ssh hostkey from WD on FN
4) Setup a rsync task on WD
- Set user to root
- Set Preserve Permission checkbox
My questions are:
- Is there anything I should be doing/considering that is not here yet?
- I have to enter an ip (the one of my FreeNAS) when setting up the rsync task, but I can't use my local 192.168.178.xx ip right? Don't I need an external ip or something? If so, how can I find it?
Thank you :)
