My problem turned out to be that the folders I am backing up were empty. So my backup to cloud was correctly reporting there was nothing to do.

I had a job syncing the folders from where they were on a QNAP onto the TrueNAS box. The QNAP was (until told differently) applying the QNAP permissions to the files on TrueNAS which of course did not make any sense in the context of TrueNAS users and groups.

Rsync job creates folders but does not copy files

I am trying to copy files from my existing NAS (QNAP) to a new TrueNAS box intended to replace it. I have a couple of nightly one way rsync jobs setup on the QNAP. They use the credentials of the user that is the owner of the target datasets in TrueNAS. The jobs report as successful on the QNAP and the elapsed times are plausible to move the amount of data involved. Looking at the TrueNAS dataset details though, the data written is a few hundred MB, not the GBs of data the QNAP reports synci…

So I don’t think this solution will be of much assistance to you I’m sorry.
