[Help] Rsync not working
Posted: 11 Aug 2026, 02:53
Hi everybody,
I'm trying to back up my data from a TNAS to a Synology NAS using rsync. A user named “RSYNC” has been created on the destination system. The rsync service is enabled, and the SSH port is configured accordingly. However, after the first step, the Backup Wizard displays an error message stating that a connection could not be established.
In the terminal, however, both the connection and the file transfer work:
rsync -a -e ‘ssh -p xxxxx’ /Volume1/backup_test/test.txt [email protected]:/Volume1/backup_test/test.txt
I am using the latest version, TOS 7.0.0804.
Thanks for your help.
