Rsync
Access to the share via rsync is identical regardless of the security mode. If you had specified a user
or password in the rsync share access tab, you will need to specify this when accessing the rsync
share. Unlike other protocols, rsync uses arbitrary user name and password that is specific only for
rsync access. The user account you specify does not need to exist on the ioSafe R4 or a domain
controller.
Hers is an example of a way for a Linux client to list the content of an ioSafe R4 rsync share with no
user name and password defined:
# rsync ipaddr::backup
To recursively copy the content of a share to /tmp:
# rsync –a ipaddr::backup /tmp
To do the same except with a login user and password hello:
# rsync –a user@ipaddr::backup /tmp
Passowrd: *****
Note
The ioSafe R4 does not support rsync over SSH.
