Deploy Rsync on your LAN
Because each backup job runs initially as a full backup, you’ll want to create and test it locally
before implementing it across subnets or over a WAN connection. Doing so not only makes the
initial backup run more efficiently but also ensures that the job operates as expected. Once you
have everything working properly, you can relocate the remote device to its intended location.
Because we want the local device to “pull” data from the remote device, we’ll set up the local
device as the Rsync client and the remote device as the Rsync server, as shown in Figure B.
We’ll provide the details on accomplishing this in the upcoming sections. For now, let’s just set
up the devices on a local LAN segment, so that we can create and test a typical backup job.
Figure B: The remote device makes its shares available to the local device.
To set up the ReadyNAS devices on your LAN:
1. Physically connect each device to the same subnet on your LAN.
2. Use the RAIDar discovery utility to complete the initial setup of each device.
3. Name one device local-nas and the other device remote-nas to make following our
examples easier.
