DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

Is the intent to backup the NAS to a remote server or to backup a remote server to the NAS?

If it's the former - firmware 1.09 includes support for online back up to Ctera Networks cloud based storage - I don't thinks it uses ftp, but the backup runs without a PC once it has been configured.  Additionally I believe the included ftp server supports fxp server-to-server transfers, which can theoretically do what you're asking, however I've never attempted to use it.

If it's the latter - all of the firmwares include a scheduled downloader that should be able to do what you need.

The scheduled downloader is not two-way sync, and if I recall correctly, neither is the ctera cloud solution - I never did see the logic behind a "sync style" backup (wait unti you delete a file by accident), but if it works for you ...

cool! thanks, I looked that the optware link but now I am confused what the difference is between fonz fun plug, optware and then also ipkg . I need to do some more research to figure that out.

Do you know where there is a description to lftp , to see it has the type of functionality I need anyway...?

BTW, the filesets I'm wanting to sync aren't mission critical to me, I just want a remote FTP mirror and a local NAS mirror of essentially the same fileset. If i delete in folder A1. then it deletes on A2 and vice versa. If I or anyone else  adds to folder C1 then it mirrors the file to folder c2 etc etc. I'm waffling, I could have just said Sync.

Cheers,
