I have since reformatted and reconfigured the NAS device (due to an unrelated issue), but when confronted with the task of re-learning everything that I had had to research the first time, and all the trial and error involved in trying to get remote backups working the first time, found myself wondering why this should even be necessary.ĭelving in to crontabs seems like a similar problem (whatever these are - I assume something like the cron jobs that I once used for backing up from my web host - until they too stopped working for reasons I could never explain or solve).Ī good backup system is one that the user is willing and able to sustain.

Possibly something changed with Digital Ocean, or Discourse software updates - but I am no IT boffin, and my continued attempts at getting to the bottom of this issue just kept being put off by other life priorities. Power cycling NAS and router had no effect. No errors in logs, no changes I knew of to router, no shortage of hard drive space. Hi, Falco and thanks for the suggestions.įor a couple of months I actually rsync running, but it stopped working for no reason I could ever identify. In this specific case, wouldn’t running a rsync starting from your NAS to the Discourse server backup folder work very well for you?
