Hi,

Thank you for contacting NetApp community, Answer is NO for RSYNC in NetApp. I would suggest to use alternative like NDMP DUMP maybe ?

Check this KB for more info

Thanks,

Nayab

I don't know what your rsync use-case is, but even though it's primary use case is data migration, the NetApp XCP tool is pretty slick:

Hope that helps,

Chris
