Linux servers and desktops can be backed up using the rsync protocol which is a core component of every Linux system. For and introduction check the [[wikipedia:Rsync|Rsync article]] on [[wikipedia:Main|Wikipedia]].

This page describes the steps to setup rsync backup from a Linux machine to a Synology DiskStation.

==What to choose: native Rsync or Rsync via SSH/RSH?==
Depending on your needs these are the decision criteria:
* Speed
* Security
* Access control
ToDo: Elaborate

==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.

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

Creating Rsync targets 
You need to edit the file /etc/rsyncd.conf. 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
