Editing Backup Linux desktop data using rsync (section)

==Setting up Synology for rsync==
To enable backup via rsync the rsync deamon on the Synology needs to be activated and Sync targets need to be defined.

<b>Activating rsync</b><br />
Start your Synology DiskStation Manager. Go to Backup - Network Backup Service and check the box "Enable network backup service". Click OK - that's all.

<b>Creating rsync targets</b><br />
You need to edit the file <b>/etc/rsyncd.conf</b>. You can do that either by opening an SSH session into the DiskStation or using the [http://www.mertymade.com/syno/#cfe Config File Editor] Third party application. To use it you need to first edit the config File editor config itself and add the line /etc/rsyncd.conf (It seems you have to create the file before the Config File Editor will pick it up). You also might need a file /etc/rsyncd.secrets for users to use rsync connections
