Finally managed to get rsync script working after working on it for more than 7 hours since 1.30 AM on 28 Jan 2026 Wednesday

Subject: Finally managed to get rsync script working after working on it for more than 7 hours since 1.30 AM on 28 Jan 2026 Wednesday Good day from Singapore, I have finally managed to get rsync script working after working on it for more than 7 hours since 1.30 AM on 28 Jan 2026 Wednesday. The old Synology DS713+ NAS was backed up to USB external harddisk using Hyper Backup. The Hyper Backup on the USB external harddisk was fully restored on the new Synology DS1522+ NAS at 1.30 AM on 28 Jan 2026 Wednesday. Since 1.30 AM in the morning, I have been working for more than 7 hours to get the rsync script working, all throughout the night. rsync daemon keeps failing with errors, so I had no choice but to turn to rsync SSH. Before running rsync SSH, I need to get passwordless SSH login working first. 1️⃣ Generate an SSH key on DS713+ (client) ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 Press Enter to accept the default path: /var/services/homes/rsyncuser/.ssh/id_rsa Press Enter again for no passphrase (neede...

Subject: I think secret government agents have compromised my Protonmail email account(s) and used it to send emails to the openwrt-devel mailing list in Jan 2026 Good day from Singapore, I think secret government agents have compromised my Protonmail email account(s) and used it to send emails to the openwrt-devel mailing list in Jan 2026, either to the list itself or individual list members.

Using rsync command to sync changed/new files from old Synology NAS to new Synology NAS

Subject: Using rsync command to sync changed/new files from old Synology NAS to new Synology NAS Good day from Singapore, Phase 2: Cut-over day (final sync) ✔ Correct approach On cut-off day: Stop or restrict user access on old NAS (important!) Run rsync from old NAS → new NAS Only changed/new files are copied Very fast compared to full copy -------------------------------------- ⚠️ Important Rules Before rsync Before you run rsync: Disable user access on old NAS Or at least make shared folders read-only Disable scheduled tasks Hyper Backup Synology Drive Docker containers Ensure: Same shared folder names exist on new NAS Permissions already restored via Hyper Backup This avoids file changes mid-sync. ----------------------------------- 🔑 Enable rsync Access on New NAS On DS1522+: Control Panel → File Services → rsync ✔ Enable rsync service ✔ Enable rsync account You can either: Use an admin account, or Create a dedicated rsync user ----------------------------------------- ✅ Recommen...

TeraCopy can be used to copy files even when the source harddisk has bad sectors (confirmed)

Subject: TeraCopy can be used to copy files even when the source harddisk has bad sectors (confirmed) Good day from Singapore, Recently I have THREE (3) units of Western Digital WD My Passport 4 TB USB portable harddisks (model: WD40NDZW-11BCVS1) which developed bad sectors. According to Reddit and other forums (reported by ChatGPT), many many many users reported Western Digital 4 TB USB portable harddisks developed bad sectors after a short period of use or have high failure rates. According to ChatGPT, Seagate harddisks have an even higher failure rate compared to Western Digital harddisks. According to ChatGPT, internal SATA harddisks and NAS harddisks have a much higher reliability than USB portable harddisks. ChatGPT artificial intelligence (AI) told me TeraCopy can be used to copy files even when the source harddisk has bad sectors, while Windows File Explorer will stall or hang forever when it encounters files with bad sectors. TeraCopy can be configured to skip files with bad s...
