Is syncthing available on Synology?

Afaik Synology DSM supports rsync - that should be relatively efficient and TrueNAS includes a GUI for creating Rsync jobs.

thanks you for the reply i couldnt find syncthing on the app store and r synic is was too fiddly for me to use unfortunatly i need something pretty easy to use, im using teracopy atm from my gaming machine but obviously less than optimal for very large transfers

SMB Server Side Copy - #14 by TheColin21 - I once made quite a fool of myself using TeraCopy with TrueNAS - beware: it does not support smb server side copy.

Otherwise great software though…

I know, rsync can have it’s difficulties sometimes but for a simple “get all my data here once” job using it with TrueNAS’ GUI should be doable for anyone who setup a TrueNAS box I think.

I was using rsync for transferring big data directories. For the smaller ones (let’s say, a few hundred GBs) I’ve just copied data on a win pc from one smb share to another. And made sure size matches byte to byte after.

While it sounds somewhat stupid and wasteful, it’s very easy. And you have ~400GB/h speed over a 1Gbps link.

rsync seems a good option. A specific guide to do that is here: Rsync Setup on TrueNAS Scale for Synology NAS Hyper Backup (“Rsync Setup on TrueNAS Scale for Synology NAS Hyper Backup” by Lawrence systems)
