I've been online and working in IT since 1994 and just started now with openmediavault. I would have been totally lost without your series of videos - many thanks for all your help 👍👍🍻

Who else saw tv/tripplexx/getting synchronised at 3:57? Now thats proper NAS usage right there for you!! Dont try to convince us that its got anything to do with Xander Cage...

Many thanks - This helped me work out why I could not pull from an rsync module to my OMV server (I was using a single colon instead of the double-colon).
Incidentally at 6:05 you say that the *in the minute field means at the top of the hour... In most Linux implementations, * means every minute (or once a minute, if you prefer). For top of the hour you need to use 0. As a former Unix instructor, I generally recommend not doing things on the hour (because that's what people tend to do) but to start a few minutes after the hour so that not every scheduled activity tries to start at the same time.

Thanks man! It is now helping me migrating from my synogy to my Omv with a Pull.
It would have been a pain doing it by hand since i already did it 1.5 year ago.

Now I'll practice it again to have it do a real scheduled backup
I'm very new to all this
