Hello,
I am trying to run a backup task using Rsync from my FreeNAS server to our QNAP server.
I have enabled the rsync server on the QNAP and set up a rsync user account to have the write permissions on the QNAP server. That seems to be pretty straight forward.
On the FreeNAS side (11.2 U5) I have created the rsync user that I will be using, giving it access to the dataset I need to back up and then set up an rsync task.
I've followed the guide online for that.
My task looks like that:
However when I start the task I am getting no log in my /var/log/rsync.log file
I did catch how the task was called and manually launch it to see if I could get more info and I am getting this:
root@A11[/mnt/Main]# /usr/local/bin/python3 /usr/local/www/freenasUI/tools/runnow.py -t rsync -i 1
lockf: cannot open /mnt/Main/A11/: Permission denied
My user "phuketmymac" has the permissions on that dataset. I've "su" into this user and tried to access the folder and I was able to browse the content.
Why would the rsync task lock the folder which is the dataset?
Is there anything wrong in my task setup?
Thanks!
