Sync to Windows share

[ITGuy1024]

Hey all,

I want to do a short term "backup" solution for my freenas server. My thought was to have Freenas rsync to a share on a Windows 7 pc.

I tried this command but got an error message.
rsync -a /mnt/PoolA 172.30.1.102:/nasbackup/ (nasbackup is the share name of the drive)

ssh: connect to host 172.30.1.102 port 22: Connection refused
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [sender]
rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(226) [sender=3.1.2]

I was reading some threads, I couldn't find many on this. Does deltacopy need to be on the Windows 7 pc?
Another option I saw was to have Deltacopy pull from the Freenas server but I didn't see how to pull.

Thanks as always.

Why not use an rsync client on the Windows machine and leave out the SMB middleman?

That would be ok too. Any recommendations?

I think DeltaCopy is fairly popular, but I haven't used it myself.

I went with Grsync, at least for now.
