Netgear’s readynas backup software ‘replicate’ is shutting down at the end of this year, so im looking for an alternative. Duplicati looks perfect! It runs a debian backend which i can SSH into. I’m just not super 100% sure if it will work or prerequisites. Has anyone tried installing it onto a REA…

[image] John: I’ve got it all figured out and working. I’ll post my procedure soon. Interesting! After hours of Googling I managed to get it working on my ReadyNAS 314. I suppose the way I installed it is not the most obvious way. I’ve documented my procedure here: https://groups.google.com/…

Hi kees-z! Yes I found your google post! and it helped me out tons! thank you so much! It looks like our NAS’ work very similar.

[image] John: I’ve got it all figured out and working. I’ll post my procedure soon. That’s great, and thanks! Is your process close enough to @kees-z ’s to share a single How-To topic ?

Yes Kees-z’s is much cleaner than mine, i did need to change the auto run script, because his started on the default port (8200) but that conflicts with the DNLA on the nas. so you need to change that to 8300. I’m just doing some test backups and making sure everything works.

Awesome! I didn’t know about that one. I’ll add that too. I had a question about your startup script. It appears to need ‘start’ added to the end of it make it run or ‘stop’ to close the service down. ie ‘duplicati start’. But when adding it to update-rc.d you don’t appear to be adding the ‘start’…

I definitely wouldn’t assume to make it better. mine is just a bit simpler because I don’t know much :stuck_out_tongue:

Enable SSH: Log on to your ReadyNAS and create a new share.Give it the name Duplicati. Enable SSH: Click System, Settings and click the SSH button. Download and start PuTTY. Connect to your ReadyNAS (username: root, password: your admin user’s password). Install Pre reqs: Type the follow: apt-g…

Installing Duplicati on a Netgear ReadyNAS How-To

This article describes how I did get Duplicati working on a Netgear ReadyNAS. Due to my very limited Linux skills I suppose there are a number of things that could be done better, so feel free to comment what could be improved. A ReadyNAS running ReadyNAS OS6 is required. Older models running RAIDiator (like the ReadyNAS Duo and ReadyNAS Ultra) are based on an ancient Debian version that doesn’t meet the minimum requirements for installing Duplicati. Create a new shared folder. Give it the na…
