Note: For security reasons, SSH only allows the “admin” account or the “root”
account to log in. The passwords for both these accounts are identical.

After enabling Rsync server, your NAS will become a backup server and will allow remote
backup from another ASUSTOR NAS or any other Rsync-compatible servers.
 Enable Rsync server: If you wish to permit encrypted backup for clients, please
enable support for encrypted transmission via SSH. If you enable this feature the
system will then automatically enable SSH service (2.2.8 Terminal).
 Manage Rysnc User: If you wish to create restrictions on the Rsync connections that
can back up to your NAS, please click on Manage Users to create different Rsync
user accounts.
Reminder: Rsync accounts are different and independent from system
accounts.
 Add New Backup Modules: Click on Add to create a new backup module. Each backup
module will then correspond to a physical path within the system. When an Rsync
client connects to your NAS, it will be able to select a backup module. Data will then
be backed up to the module’s corresponding physical path.
