[Guide] Rsync Synology 1512+ to D-Link 327L

Rsync between two different products

 How To Back Up NAS to NAS (Rsync)

 The rsync setups on the Synology and D-Link, but each has features that the other doesn't. Synology requires a mandatory username and password while the D-Link GUI does not provide a place to enter, which could only be found in SSH.

D-Link DNS-327L

 Tried to Google but can't seem to locate anything similar. Thus will provide a short write-up for people interested in having a cheaper alternative over the Synology NAS for backup purposes.

 Firmware:
Synology 1512+ on DSM 5.0-4993 Update 1
D-Link DNS-327L on 1.03

    Hi thanks for your help. However whenever I restart my Dlink the Rsync went back to the original password. How do I make it permanent?

    Thanks
