Hi all,
I would greatly appreciate some help with this. I may not even be on the right path but I think I am close.
I have a Synology NAS that I am running rsync jobs on to offload to USB3. These work fine.
I have backup software on our Windows Server 2008R2 that I have now realized can launch a script upon completion of the backup job.
On my windows machine, the backup job kicks off a batch file with the contents:
plink.exe myusername@SYNOLOGY -pw mypassword -no-antispoof /volume1/SYSTEM-SCRIPTS/WK0102/rsync_WK0102-OffsiteDev.sh
The command actually runs from windows and works successfully. However, it runs from a Dos box on the Windows Server and that Dos box holds onto the job until completion.
All I actually want to do is have plink launch the remote command on the Synology machine and then release the job and let it run over there. I want the Dos part to then complete.
Any advice would be great. I am happy to use other methods if plink isn't the correct way to go about this.
Thanks in advance
