| | ====== Rsync as root? ====== |
| | |
| | Generally, rsync'ing as root is bad. However, if you're pulling backups, it's the only way to read all files and preserve their permissions (necessary if you're using the NAS in a UNIX-like way). To do this, the above directions work, but with one issue. On rsync, you'll get the error "ERROR: user has disabled/expired". This is coming from the rsync layer, not ssh, and it's because the root account is "disabled". |
| | |
| | Surprisingly, this is fixed from the GUI of Synology -- find the account called "admin" and enable it, and that will fix rsync-as-root. |
| | |
| | NOTE: Secure your SSH key fastidiously, as it now is an admin credential to the whole NAS box. |
