I use rsync piped via ssh from Macosx and WIn Xp to my B2. Works perfectly.
Now I also have a Qnap NAS and want to Rsync from this Qnap to my B2. In this case the b2 must have a rsyncd server running.

Anyone that can point me to info on how to configure this?

Here's another howto with some more coverage:

Can't say that I've ever done it this way, but from the looks of it I think this one should get you the result you're aiming for (I've read some really bad stuff on rsync floating around the net).

Thanks Gordon,
The content in the article you suggest looks great. §i will give it a try shortly and will post the results

Success!

This is what I did:

/etc/rsyncd.conf

uid = nobody
gid = nogroup
use chroot = yes
max connections = 4
auth users = my-user-name
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets
motd file = /etc/rsyncd.motd
log file = /var/log/rsyncd.log

pid file = /var/run/rsyncd.pid
read only = false
# read only false is important. If you forget, the server cannot upload.

[hsj]
path = /home/hsj/rsynctest

/etc/default/rsync

Changed one line:
#RSYNC_ENABLE=false
RSYNC_ENABLE=true

Chmod 777 the directory for the server to write to ( in this case rsynctest

started the server in the bubba by : service rsync start

Thats it. N ow th Qnap NAS box can run rsync jobs into the bubba
