I have two NAS boxes, an older (no longer officially supported) Seagate
BlackArmor and a Synology DS920+.   

 

I use the Seagate for a "Shared" filesystem where I keep files I want to
share between various computers, and as a backup for "old stuff".   

 

The Synology is brand new, and my intent is to use it as a backuppc
server/repository, Plex Music Server and to store Photos (haven't decided
yet on photo library software).   I'm setting up a "cloud archive" from the
Synology to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (cheapest cloud storage around, but
I may change) for "offsite" backup.

 

I'd ALSO like to copy my Shared filesystem from the Seagate to the Synology
(It's about 900Gb uncompressed) so that I have a local backup and it also
gets to "the cloud" at least once in a while.  

 

I'm running the adferrand/backuppc:latest (4.4.0) docker image on the
Synology, using rsync and I'm using "BackupFilesOnly" to restrict my backup
to only certain directories (home, /usr/local, /opt, /var/www, /etc, /root)

 

I first tried putting "/Shared" in BackupFilesOnly on one of the servers I'm
backing up that has that filesystem NFS mounted;  but that got me just the
directory with nothing in it.  

 

Right now, I'm running it with /Shared as a SECOND (in addition to "/"
"RsyncShareName") and then "/Shared*" as  a ShareName under BackupFilesOnly.
That SEEMS to be working; but is HORRIBLY slow, (been running over 3 hours,
and only have 11381 in Count - the backup of the "/" RsyncShareName got
31979 files in a bit more than an hour.

 

Is there a better way?

 

Thanks!
