I have a Synology DS418 and a QNAP TS-431P sitting in the same closet plugged into the same router. My goal is for the QNAP to act as a backup for the Synology, in case the controller board fails or the power supply melts, etc.
I have a share "Filez" on both, with the same data. When I make changes to files/directories on the Filez share on the Synology, I want them automagically propagated to the QNAP.
I set up rsync and Hyper Backup, but instead of comparing the two root share directories as I would expect rsync to, it creates its own directory structure inside Filez/Filez.hbk and puts all the data there...It seems "backup" and "sync" are somewhat ambiguous terms, and I'm not sure what to search for to accomplish my goals.
Basically, instead of running an rysnc command on my laptop between the two shares mounted via SMB, I want the Synology to do it for me, on a schedule. Is there a simple way to accomplish this?
