Backup from ubuntu and ds211J

[erpomata]

Hello to everyone.
I need to make a backup of my home directory on a dierctory present on DS211J.

That's why I set up rsync on the NAS in this way:

/etc/rsyncd.conf

Code: Select all

#motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd
#log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log
pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
lock file = /var/run/rsync.lock
use chroot = no

[NetBackup]
path = /var/services/NetBackup
comment = Network Backup Share
uid = root
gid = root
read only = no
list = yes
charset = utf-8
auth users = root
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets

[myhome]
path = /volume1/myhome
comment = myhome
uid = paolo
gid = paolo
read only = no
list = yes
charset = utf-8
auth users = paolo
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets

/etc/rsyncd.secret

Code: Select all

root:<secret>
paolo:<secret>


When I run rsync from the client with this command:

Code: Select all

rsync -av -e ssh --delete /home/paolo rsync://paolo@192.168.1.3:873/myhome

I asked for two passwords:

Code: Select all

paolo@192.168.1.3's password:
Password:
@ERROR: auth failed on module myhome
rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1534) [sender=3.0.8]


I know the first password but the second I have no idea what it is.

A final information.
If I run:

Code: Select all

rsync rsync://paolo@192.168.1.3:873

This is the result:

Code: Select all

NetBackup         Network Backup Share
myhome        myhome


Can you help me?

thanks

I just copied whole [NetBackup] section, and got same error.
It started working after commenting out in the new section

Code: Select all

# auth users = root
# secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets

Missing RFTM. Password in rsync.secret is in plaintext, so for root default value seems to be random (and not hashed unix root password). After disabling authentication, I was still asked for password, but entered string was then ignored. Correct config is like

Thank you.
In this way it worked for me too.
But there is no way to avoid being prompted for passwords?

Best regards
