#Readynas acrosync setup ssh full

I opened an SSH session to the NAS, and edited the Linux sources file using the вЂviвЂ™ text editor to include the following aditional debian sources.Дeb sarge/updates main contrib non-free deb-src sarge/updates main contrib non-freeДeb sarge-backports main contrib non-free deb-src sarge-backports main contrib non-freeДeb sarge main contrib non-free deb-src sarge main contrib non-free

If you are happy to do this read on, but for legal reasons we cannot be held responsible for any damage you may cause. To fix this problem and get my media usage reports to work was actually relatively straight forward, but does require you to change core Linux utilities on the NAS that have not been updated by Netgear and therefore would more than likely void your warranty. The problem is, to get this information a special вЂlsвЂ™ command extension is required ( вЂ“time-style=), and it is this that unfortunately was not supported by my old Netgear ReadyNas Duo. This informationвЂ™s useful as it shows how much actual disk space is used on the rsync server and not just the size that each backup folder represents. From these two figures it can easily work out the space saved by BackupAssistвЂ™s single instance store feature.

Once it has trawled through the full backup it has a value for the total space represented by the files, as well as the actual disk space used at the block level. Starting at the root folder of the backup, the script recurses through each sub folder one by one adding up all the files it finds, keeping a running total. In effect, this is a clever use of the Linux вЂlsвЂ™ command with includes some specific extensions to catalogue each file in the backup and how much space it actually uses on the disk as well as the file size. This script adds up the space used by all the files within the backup folder previously written to. The media usage report is generated by running a special bash script on the rsync server after the rsync job has completed.

When you watch the job running in the monitor window, just before it finishes you can see the following error:. The only issue was that in the reports, the media usage section was always blank. This job has run for months without issue and updates the backup every day with any changes in the MDaemon server. The destination for this job is a remote Netgear Duo (V1) NAS and so the job is configured using rsync over SSH.

One of our own rsync jobs is configured to back up an MDaemon mail server once a day using the вЂњbasicвЂќ scheme. However, through diagnosing this issue IвЂ™ve learned much more about how the media usage report works with BackupAssist rsync jobs and thought it would be useful to share my findings. Before I start, I should warn you, this may be a rare issue that only effects a handful of customers вЂ“ in particular those that use older NAS hardware.
