This is like mounting the remote drive via samba and then do a sync,
this is like doing a normal copy job without the deltra transfer
benefits of rsync.
If at all possible you should run an rsync daemon on the NAS box and
then run the rsync command on the other side of the VPN. rsync uses port
873 by default. Or use an extra box connected via LAN (not vpn) to mount
the NAS and run the rsync daemon.
If the NAS is 192.168.123.6 your command on the other side would be:
rsync --verbose --progress --stats --compress --recursive --times
--perms --links --delete /Share/ 192.168.123.6::Backup/EdensLandCorp
You can also turn it around to let the NAS poll the backup, you need to
run an rsync server on the main site then, but only a few officially
support it.

Forgive me if this has been addressed here before. We have a remote office that
we need to backup to our NAS. We have a site to site certificate VPN. The
remote site has over 51gb that needs to be backed up to our NAS over that VPN.
I have tried this command:
rsync --verbose --progress --stats --compress --recursive --times --perms
--links --delete /Share/* / smb://192.168.123.6/Backup/EdensLandCorp
and it just sits there and appears to do nothing. Does rsync make a tarball
first and then put it where it is told to put it or does it just copy the
files/folders over? Maybe it is the smb://xx.xx.xx.xx/whatever that is breaking
it......the bottom line is i need to copy/rsync a directory to a remote server
through a VPN. How is this accomplished?
