Replication of filesystems for backup reasons?

Hi there,

as a concept I am thinking of creating 2 levels of storage of media files (videos)

I have a onsite storage, which contains the "online" required media files and I would like to have an archived storage.

Online storage on onsite OMV6 contains

a folder lets name it activeFolder

and a archived storage lets name it archivedFolder

As soon as data is in the archivedFolder on the onsite OMV6 is getting added (or moved from activeFolder) I want to replicate the data from this folder to cloud based storage, which is read only accessible. Also I want to remove the data from archivedFolder onsite, after e.g. 60 days of not being touched.

I want to replicate the users and the folder+file permissions from activeFolder to archivedFolder on onsite storage, but also to the cloud based storage on replicating from archivedFolder to cloud

Is there any existing mechanism in OMV6 to solve this requirements?
If not, are there any suggestions how to ensure the requirements:

- user + password sync

- files + folder sync

- permissions sync

no ideas or solutions?

Read about Rsync and how it works.

thank you, I know rsync, but did not find any information about syncing

- user + password sync

- permissions sync

Is this a feature of OMV6, if so where can I activate it? Is there a howto/doc for it?

Quote from raulfg3

permission sync is included on RSync by default https://linux.die.net/man/1/rsync

user + password sync can be done if you know on what files are stored , so google about password file in Debian.

okay thank you for pinpointing me this

forgot, yes file permissions can be also done with rsync

To be sure, OMV6 is not keeping its own database for users, passwords and groups?

Means I can blindly sync /etc/passwd and /etc/groups from server to server to have the corresponding users, passwords and groups?

If this is the fact, how do I ensure that the passwords are synced from /etc/passwd to samba passwords?
