Backing up internal storage to Synology NAS

[EvilGnome6]

I’d ideally like to treat my music folder on my Synology 918+ as master, and have it mirrored to two different ROCKs’ local storage (so every night after I’ve added new folders to my NAS’s music folder, the next morning they’re on my ROCK’s local storage and library.

This can be done. It took me forever to figure this out and I finally got it thanks to some other poster here.

1. In File Services, Enable rsync
2. In File Station, Map remote a remote folder to your ROCK’s InternalStorage folder
3. In Task Scheduler, create a task that runs the following command (you may need to adjust paths/host names):

rsync -av --delete --exclude ‘@eaDir’ /volume1/Library/ /volume1/ROCK/Library

Initially, I recommend setting it up to email you and running manually to make sure everything is working OK. For example, I had to fix up some folder names with special characters. Once you’re satisfied it works as desired, Schedule the task to run as frequently as you please. I have it running on 1 minute intervals! It’s practically real time.
