WHITEPAPER
Rsync-enabled NAS Hardware Compatibility List
Netgear ReadyNas NV+
Note: Since conducting our testing, Netgear have released the Pro Business, NVX and 2100 models which
our customers tell us support Rsync over SSH. Some of the following steps may not be applicable to these
models.
This setup guide begins with a ReadyNas NV+ with the factory default settings.
1. Start by setting up your NAS so that you are able to access the web-control panel.
2. Once you have the device RAID operational, open a browser window and navigate to https://[netgear
IP]/admin and log in using the admin account.
Note: the IP of your NAS can be found by looking at the small display located at the bottom of the NAS
device. If this display is blank, briefly press the power button to activate it.
3. From the ReadyNas control panel click „Setup Wizard‟ to begin the setup process. During this process
there are a number of key steps required to allow BackupAssist to connect to the ReadyNas via Rsync,
which are outlined below. Some of the setup, however, will be specific to your own network and is not
covered in the scope of this whitepaper.
Time date region: User set
Email contact settings: User set
IP config settings: User set – you need to ensure, however, that this subnet is reachable by your
BackupAssist machine.
Gateway settings: User set – these need to be setup correctly in order for the NAS to have access to the
Internet so as to make use of Rsync over a WAN.
Password creation: The password you create in this step will be used by BackupAssist to connect to
Rsync that will be running on this NAS.
File sharing settings: Depending on how access to the internet is configured on your network you may
need to alter these settings.
Protocols: Here you will need to enable the Rsync protocol on the ReadyNas. To do this, simply tick the
box marked “Rsync, a popular incremental backup protocol used in Unix and Linux environments.”
Streaming services: User set
Add-ons: User set
Shares on RAID Volumes: No changes need to be made on this window.
Add shares: You will need to create a new share for your Rsync data to be stored. In this example we
have created a share called “rsyncdata” with no size limit (data quota).
