Thank you so much for this. I needed this EXACT thing done. Was tired of failing drives in TrueNas because I was using old/used drives. Wanted to replace the TrueNas drives with fresh/new/bigger drives and wanted to back everything to my Synology NAS. Thank you - thank you- thank you!
This video saved me from banging my head against the wall trying to set up rsync for my QNAP and TN. I have a pull configuration, the TN pulls data from the QNAP and back them on to the TN. For anyone else who is going through the same set up as me... Just follow the instruction as shown in the video, but in the last rsync tatsk section, choose pull instead of push. There are numerous user permission setting not covered by this video.. But they are not too difficult to figure out.
Thanks for this. I was able to follow these instrucitons to Rsync from Truenas to my QNAP and it worked pretty well. I had wasted a bunch of time before in the truenas ui generating keypairs that weren't being used by my rsync user.
You totally saved my bacon here. I just set up TrueNAS scale and needed to back up my files from it to my older Synology NASs. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Your video was well thought out and presented very well. Thanks! You got a sub from me :D
Thanks so much for this tutorial Setup Synology at a remote location and it was so do a remote backup. This was the only tutorial I found that is actually working.
Thanks so very much .. works great and now I have better backups for my Truenas file system .. now I just need to figure out how to Schedule the tasks so there not all running at the same time ..
Under TrueNas scale, the rsync task is under the "Data Protection" tab. Took me way too long to find it. Great video though, You always make good stuff.
Why define read/write access permissions on synology shares in the first instance, if in the second instance, to enable ssh connection and therefore rsync, you have to add it to the administrators group and therefore have full access?
I used your tutorial and have my Truenas server backing up just fine now! Quick question, how come you recommend that the FTP and SFTP services be turned on when FTP isn’t used? I also now get a security message from my Synology 1522+ that warns about the permissions being set incorrectly on the rsync home folder I created to receive the backup data from Truenas. Any idea why I’m getting this security warning about permissions?
Nice Video, i was looking for something like this video long ago, followed all steps and everything was good, but maybe i made a misstake and when i tried to run the task, i got the error message "No such file or directory" but the path that the task is searching for in the synology nas side is the home directory of the user in the synology + the directory what i want to place de files, how can i quit the home directory of the path of the rsync task? Sorry for my terrible english :´)
I prefer core but for many reasons i need to switch to scale. What are you supposed to do with "Host key verification failed" on scale? I've redone the ssh process 3 times and it will not authenticate.
Awesome video. Do you know how to backup Synology to TrueNAS using Hyper back over Tailscale? Tried everything but it say no response from the server. And just updated Truenas and now rsync is gone. Can you make a tutorial on that? Could not figure out anywhere over internet.
Thanks for posting this. I'm trying to move things from an old QNAP box to a new Synology. I've used rsync on the QNAP box before (configured just from the menus). I went through all the Synology steps here successfully, then tried to configure/test the connection from QNAP Hybrid Backup and it still fails. Anyone have any clues how to get a QNAP to talk to a Synology configured like this?
I am backing up truenas to omv so anything is possible. I also found truenas to truenas rsync was harder to figure out than truenas to omv! Only reason I am even running omv right now lol.
Hey, thank you so much for this tutorials ! I think you should have made it clear that is gonna be TrueNAS that will execute the rsync to push to Synology. That was the question I was wondering the whole video until 11m00.
It doesn't seem to work with DSM 7.2. I followed the steps and when I get to the part where we need to ssh into the synology box to test, it still asks for a password. Edit: If you download Active Business Backup, you can choose to use RSYNC to backup files by simply completing a form. Took less than 3 minutes to setup.
On your truenas box: 1. log in as the user doing this. 2. type: ssh-keygen 3. type: ssh-copy-id I'm assuming you are using the same user on both. If not use: ssh-copy-id @ 4. it will ask for a password 5. test it with: ssh If it isn't going to work the ssh-copy-id will fail but if you get that done, you're good!
@@rickhernandez2114 I tried this but I get permission denied on .ssh/authorized_keys, if I do a ll on .ssh it is another user and not the rsync user, how can I chmod it so that rsync is set correctly
all those permissions have to be a certain thing. You can't chmod to open it up more. SSH won't like that. Only do this as a single user, as doing it as one user then going back as another won't work. If you can afford to, remove /.ssh and start over at step two (ssh-keygen) Good Luck! @@nathancox128

This actually helped me backup my TrueNAS to my Terramaster! Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for this tutorial
Setup Synology at a remote location and it was so do a remote backup. This was the only tutorial I found that is actually working.
Outstanding video!
The instructions are easy to follow. I got my rsync task set up successfully. Thank you for uploading this tutorial.
Thanks for this. I've got a couple synology boxes and one large TrueNAS that I want backed up. This helped me out greatly!
Most excellent guide! Everything covered and all is working fine!
Great guide, just picked a Synology NAS to do exactly this.
Thanks so very much .. works great and now I have better backups for my Truenas file system .. now I just need to figure out how to Schedule the tasks so there not all running at the same time ..

This is a terrific video, thanks for making it!
Thank you. Perfect, this is just what I needed. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. My first rsync backup is running.
good work, you help me a lot, thank you from spain :)
Very, very helpful indeed! Many thanks!
Hey I noticed your Breckenridge, Colorado shirt, are you from Summit County or just visiting?
super. thank you! IT looks so easy the way how you explained.

Man, thanks for this!
This is a great video. Thank you.
How do we password protect the backup ? So that users on the Synology side cannot read it.
Thanks! Worked great!

Why you had to copy TrueNAS rsync2 SSH pub key to his own TrueNAS WEB UI pub key field?

I don’t have a QNAP system to try it :/
I go the other way around, Synology to Truenas and yes it's much easier.
I also use Syncthing to copy some files from my Synology to a Linux VM
for me Synology to truenas not working over tailscale. any idedas?
I think that you can avoid copying pub key to synology manually by using "ssh-copy-id".
What about borg backup?
I am backing up truenas to omv so anything is possible. I also found truenas to truenas rsync was harder to figure out than truenas to omv! Only reason I am even running omv right now lol.
Thank you very much!
Can you do a pull from synology via ssh?
that's my question too. did you try ?
wish i could give you more than 1 thumbs up. Thank you
thank you

Ive just tired all this and checked repeatedly, synology is aking for a pass too
On your truenas box:
1. log in as the user doing this.
2. type: ssh-keygen
3. type: ssh-copy-id
I'm assuming you are using the same user on both. If not use: ssh-copy-id @
4. it will ask for a password
5. test it with: ssh
If it isn't going to work the ssh-copy-id will fail but if you get that done, you're good!

15 people are somewhere. I do think should be news, you know it is words words words engagement etc etc ya
First!
