SOLVED rsync only max 1 day old files to another FreeNAS

[fips]

Hi,

I was not sure which category is the right one for rsync questions, so I posted it here, correct me if I am wrong.
My Setup:
One main FreeNAS with about 20TB, second FreeNAS with just 2TB.
Every day I run write backup files to my main FreeNAS, approximately 500GB.
I want to sync that new data to the second FreeNAS, and just hold 1-2 generations.

Under Linux I would work with something like this script:

Code:

for i in `find /mnt/Backups/ -type f -ctime -1`
do
scp $i user@$second-FreeNAS:/mnt/OffsiteBackup
done

How could I achieve it with built in FreeNAS tools?

Have you considered using the Tasks tab? You ca use the Cron jobs or Rsync tasks.

Yes I am trying to set up a cron job.

Code:

find /mnt/Backup/template/ -mtime 1 -print

Give the the right amount of files

But:

Code:

find /mnt/Backup/template/ -mtime 1 -exec rsync -av --delete -e ssh {} root@192.168.3.51:/mnt/OffBackup/ \;

copies older stuff too...

I don't know why...


and

Code:

find /mnt/Backup/template/ -mtime 1 -print | rsync -av --delete --files-from=- -e ssh root@192.168.3.51:/mnt/OffBackup/

throw an error...

Found this.

Is this solved? If it is, consider editing the post as Solved. Look at this or this on how to do it.

sure, I forgot to mark it. Problem was that I had to specify that only files are synced. otherwise the -a flag goes recursive thru all files.
