Rsync to backup to NAS (NSLU2)

Asked by subz0r69z0r in rSync Backup Utility, Linux, Hard Drives & Storage

Tags: , , , ,

Hi,

I have an OpenSUSE 10.3 server and wish to periodically backup files in my home directory to a Cisco NSLU2 NAS in an incremental "copy only what has changed" fashion. The only way I know how to do this is to connect to the remote NAS via SSH - however the NSLU2 does not have an ssh daemon.

Is there any way I would go about hacking the device to be able to use cron to automatically backup files to the NAS via the local network?
