Hello everyone,
I am new to the forum and new owner of a zimablade.
I have it more as a hobby project with two useful features in use.
I have been using a 2 bay Synology NAS for a long time, as I do not raid the hard drives, I would now like to regularly and automatically copy my important data from the Synology NAS to the ZimaOS NAS.
In principle, I have already tried all possibilities and found nothing suitable or working.
Finally, I tried
Zerotier, as described here in the documentation. However, I stopped the setup when Zerotier asked for a VPN component during setup. My two NAS are right next to each other, so I don’t want to send the data over the internet (also because of data security).
Does anyone know a simple method to automatically copy the data from A to B? I would prefer to use rsync, but I can’t use it to authenticate myself on ZimaOS. I am looking forward to your answers, thank you very much,
Dentist
Thank you for your answer. I had tested syncthing, but again I’m not sure what data is being transmitted beyond my LAN.
But the main reason for not using the software was that I could not set a scheduled job, only a synchronisation interval.
I have already connected my shared drive from the Synology NAS under the zimaos and have write access to it.
I have copied the data manually via this path, there should be a way to copy the data in a time-controlled manner via this path?
Zimaos is also based on linux, would it not be possible to copy
via rsync, I have read that this also works without user login via ssh.
See also these instructions:
https://linuxconfig.org/passwordless-ssh
Do you see a chance that I can do it with this?
In the upcoming ZimaOS v1.4.2, we will add a new app called Backup. I think this is what you want.

That sounds good, thanks for this info. is there an approximate date when this version will be released?
An onboard Backup function sounds exciting!
