Create folder for mountpoint:
sudo mkdir /media/usbhdd
Look for harddisks and partitions:
fdisk -l
Check all existing mountpoints:
cat /etc/fstab
mount USB-HDD:
mount -t ntfs-3g -o rw /dev/sdd2 /media/usbhddbackup
(package ntfs-3g needs to be installed!! Otherwise the partition will be indicated as "windows basic data" and will be mounted as read-only!!)
sync data fron NAS to USB-HDD:
rsync -avzP --log-file=/tmp/rsync-status.txt /mnt/data/ /media/usbhdd/
check sync progress live:
tail -f /tmp/rsync-status.txt
