I have two newly installed DNS-320's.  My plan was to backup the local unit to a remote unit at my home(NAS to NAS).  Network topology is;

Local system is on DHCP
Verizon FIOS router assigned a fixed IP address.
No ports have been opened yet.

Remote unit is DHCP
Verizon FIOS WITHOUT a fixed IP address.
Port 80 is open and forwarded.  I will open 873 for rsync
Dynamic DNS is set up for this unit and is operational(I can remotely administer).

When I go to define the remote system I am required to give an IP address, DDNS name is NOT permitted!  Was the DDNS simply so I can remotely administer the NAS?  There is NO IP address I can supply that will have a chance of getting to the remote NAS.

What do I need to do to be able to perform remote backups?  Suggestions please?

A different NAS box, getting Local backups is a nightmare to work, good luck getting remote to work.

I believe you also need to forward port 22. I have this working locally but not tried over the internet. If you can telnet to 873 and 22 from your local to remote site then this should work fine. Remote NAS needs to be setup as Server. I would also use static IP's for my devices not dhcp. Once that's confirmed that you can see those ports then create an A Record in DNS giving a friendly name for your remote machine or edit your local host file and put something in there. On the local NAS then play with using the NAS to NAS or Nas to Linux settings.

Good luck. If you are still stuck post back. It does work with some patience.
