Hint: To use rsync for your BackupHD, you have to activate the function in the customer center. To do so navigate to the menu-point "Verwaltung" after you have chosen your contract and make the tick under "Rsync active".
Then click on the button "Ändern". Your BackupHD will be activated within 24 hours for rsync.
If you want to encrypt the rsync-connection to your BackupHD, you have the possibility to set an stunnel.
By that the connection to your BackupHD will be encrypted via SSL.
This instruction describes the setup of stunnel under Linux and Windows.
Linux:
Zunächst müssen Sie stunnel auf Ihrem System installieren. Dazu sollte ein Paket für Ihren Paketmanager verfügbar sein.
Debian/Ubuntu
aptitude install stunnel
CentOS
yum install centos
Gentoo
emerge stunnel
OpenSuse
zypper install stunnel
Nun muss die stunnel Konfigurationsdatei erstellt bzw. aufgerufen
vi /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf
und die folgenden Änderungen vorgenommen werden:
; Certificate/key is needed in server mode and optional in client mode ;cert = /etc/ssl/certs/stunnel.pem ;key = /etc/ssl/certs/stunnel.pem ; PID is created inside the chroot jail pid = /stunnel.pid ; Some performance tunings socket = l:TCP_NODELAY=1 socket = r:TCP_NODELAY=1 ;compression = zlib ; Some debugging stuff useful for troubleshooting debug = 5 output = /var/log/stunnel/stunnel.log ; Use it for client mode client = yes Service-level configuration [pop3s] accept = 995 connect = 110 [imaps] accept = 993 connect = 143 [ssmtp] accept = 465 connect = 25 ;[https] ;accept = 443 ;connect = 80 ;TIMEOUTclose = 0 [ssync] accept = 873 connect = rsync1.euserv.de:273
Erstellen Sie das benötigte stunnel-Zertifikat und den Schlüssel (pem):
openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -nodes -out stunnel.pem -keyout stunnel.pem
Geben Sie hier die notwendigen Informationen an:
Country Name: State or Province name: Locality: Organization Name: Organizational Unit Name: Common Name (FQDN):
Bearbeiten Sie schließlich die folgende Datei:
vi /etc/default/stunnel
und ändern die folgende Zeile:
# Change to one to enable stunnel automatic startup ENABLED=1
Jetzt können Sie stunnel mit dem folgenden Befehl starten:
stunnel /etc/stunnel/stunnel.conf
Die Nutzung von rsync:
Für eine durch stunnel verschlüsselte rsync-Verbindung können Sie nun localhost als Server angeben.
z.B.
rsync -avuz /dev/zero ftpbackup-1234@localhost::ftpbackup-1234
Beenden von stunnel:
killall stunnel
Setting up stunnel under Windows
You can also set stunnel manually in Windows.
The necessary program can be downloaded at http://www.stunnel.org/.
Now you just have to edit the configuration file. You can find a link in the start menu .
Ensure that the option client=yes is not commented out.
client = yes
[ssync]
accept = 873
connect = rsync1.euserv.de:273
Now you can start stunnel from the start menu.
You can use Rsync under Windows e.g. with the free tool DeltaCopy.
