[SOLVED] Configuring remote sync

[bockhold]

Hello everybody,

I try to configure a remote sync connection to pull backups from pbs01 to pbs02. Unfortunately on pbs02 the dropdown for "Source Datastore" in the "Add: Sync Job" dialog is and remains empty. In which logfile should I have a look to determine what I do wrong (general communication between the servers, user rights, ...)?

Thanks!

You already configured and selected a "Source Remote"?

If so. please check syslogs on both servers.

Yes, I configured a "Source Remote". And I figured out what was wrong:

It's been my mistake, I misunderstood the roles named "Remote..." and used them on pbs01 for the sync user. But of course I need to use at least the role "DatastoreReader" for the user on pbs01 to allow pbs02 to pull data with it.
