Backup all data from a ReadyNAS 314
Hello everyone.
I am trying to do something that should be simple.
I want to backup my entire NAS (shares, homes, to a Windows Share.
I'm on the latest FW: 6.10.5
When setting up the backup, here are my parameters:
Source: Click browse, click on the root of my nas, click select.
on the next page it shows the source as: /
Destination: Remote Windows/NAS timestamp
Server details entered including username, password, ip, share name.
Windows server share named $backup
Test connection is successful.
I disable scheduling and click finish.
I then get an error:
"Source and destination cannot be the same"
Code: 7003020008
If I choose something on the nas like "share: mydata" with the same destination settings, it works fine.
Anyone have any ideas?
I don't want to be required to make a backup job for each individual share I have on my nas!
Thanks!
Clearly my source and destination are not the same - the source is the NAS and the destination is a windows server.

My recollection is that the $ is how Windows denotes an administrative share. Try creating the destination share to avoid the $.
