Backup Interval Issue R7000
Have Backup Interval set for 30 minutes. Has worked great for weeks. Now when I open the dashboard it shows last backup was 1 hour ago and is calculating next backup? There is plenty of room on the b...
Thank you James for the info. I will take your advise and update the firmware although it looks like the only bug fixed in the 1.0.7.2 is the time & date sync issue, which I did not have.
I believe I have found my issue and think it is in the way you interupt the instructions for the ReadyShare Vault. When you mark certain folders or files to be backed up and then set the Backup Interval for lets say 15 minutes. If none of those folders or files where changed in that time period then the backup will NOT run. Therefore there could many hours without a Backup if there was no changes. So you would NOT see a backup every 15 minutes.
With that in mind everything is working great and I believe its not only I great router, but a good 2nd backup for critical files.
Thanks again for your input, I appreciate it.

Hi BOBfromNJ,
Please be informed that the v1.0.6.28 firmware has been pulled out from support site due to some issues. I would suggest using a different firmware available in support site.
