Issue with turning backup on after having stopped and deleted the backup.
I have an issue with the backup I want to do, but does not work. I triggered a backup of the C:/users from the PC to the NAS314. It all looked OK at first. Then I made the appdata folder visible ...
Backing up hidden folders in c:\users via NAS backup jobs is tricky, there are files in there that are locked down (and others that usually open).
If you have another PC, you can try copying AppData to a temp directory on it as a test.
I have done the update to the beta software, but still the same problem. I have deleted the backups and re-initiated them again. Just indexing is being performed. For some of them after re-initiating they say that the backup is complete with a green checkmark, however, no files are in the backup folder.
If I create a new backup with a folder I have not backed up before it works, until I remove the backup and then reinitiate. Then I have the same problem again. Either indexing forever, or no files in the folder in spite of a green check-mark for a completed backup.
There seem to be some serious bugs in the backup function in the Readycloud App, so I will for now use the Memeo Backup software for these backups.
I hope it is not the same issue when replicating from one ReadyNAS to the other, since I am trying to create a off-site copy of the NAS I have centrally....

Hi olje,
Have you tried using Archive Bit? Does the same behavior occur?
